Hi,
I switched Laptops last night, from an Intel (HD Graphics) based one to a AMDGPU based one (Thinkpad L14 Gen 5; AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 7535U)
My NixOS Live iso works perfectly which basically is
<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-graphical-calamares-plasma6.nix>
<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/channel.nix>
But with a dd-copy of my old laptops disk (+entending the partition table), the system ends up in software-rendering mode. /run/opengl-driver is totally missing while the amdgpu kernel module is loaded. I regenerated hardware-configuration.nix and reduced my configuration.nix to a rather minimal example, in some instances trying to re-create the config of a live-system. Wayland doesn’t work at all while X11 works only in software-rendering-mode.
Any idea? Any specific videodriver that I should try (the wiki seems outdated therefore I didn’t try setting specific packages for hardware.graphics.

(@vcunat I reverted your edit: The ISO works, my system doesn’t work and I don’t know why. Sorry if I didn’t communicate that clearly)
