I’m trying to get steam games to work, with no luck, so I started looking around, I found out that vulkan isn’t working correctly.
I have a laptop with nvidia offload
nixos config
when I runnix-shell -p vulkan-tools --run "vkcube"
I get
Selected GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU, type: DiscreteGpu
Can't find our preferred formats... Falling back to first exposed format. Rendering may be incorrect.
/tmp/nix-shell-13842-0/rc: line 3: 15875 Segmentation fault (core dumped) vkcube
I don’t know if this is why my steam games don’t work, but I figured I should fix this anyways.
The steam games I tried were animal well and spelunky, both with nvidia-offload and without, on kde wayland and x11. These both worked on the same laptop on PopOs.

Try nvidia-offload nix-shell -p vulkan-tools --run "vkcube"
─λ nvidia-offload nix-shell -p vulkan-tools --run "vkcube"

You can see here that vkcube will terminate (fail an assertion) if there are no surface formats.
run vulkaninfo | less and look under the “Presentable Surfaces” section to see if there are any surface formats. For example, mine looks like this:

That seems correct. Does it work when you manually specify the driver?

This might be caused by something in your /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix, but this file isn’t tracked in your config, so it’s hard to tell.
Also, is the "ibt=off" parameter still needed for new drivers?

# and may be overwritten by future invocations. Please make changes
# to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix instead.

You’re right about ibt=off, I couldn’t get the drivers to work so I added a couple lines and when it worked I didn’t touch it or ask questions, I removed it, but that didn’t affect the vulkan test. I’m still getting:

Nothing looks odd to me, to be honest. If I were you I’d try the beta drivers as those might have the latest fixes.
I tried changing the package to beta, but it’s not building

I think it’s because this line pulls in the stable driver, which conflicts with the beta one:
boot.extraModulePackages = [ config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidia_x11 ];
I don’t know why you need this in the first place as the driver should load fine without it. Could you remove it and try again?
Also, if you want to make sure that the driver has loaded correctly, you can run:
$ lspci -nnk | grep -A2 -e VGA
Yep, I removed it and it built with the beta drivers.
The issue is still there, sadly.

Don’t know if this helps

Well, if you don’t mind continuing this process of doing everything until something works, you can try using a different kernel version:
# hardware-configuration.nix
boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;
By default, this attribute uses pkgs.linuxPackages which is currently at 6.6.32 while the latest one is at 6.9.3. I’m personally using pkgs.linuxPackages_xanmod_latest which is at 6.8.11.
Now, would that make a difference? Let’s find out
I tried both kernels, no luck.

for anyone who has this issue, I found a fix somewhere (can’t seem to find it now)
boot.initrd.kernelModules = [ "nvidia" "i915" "nvidia_modeset" "nvidia_drm" ];
with this, it now works, don’t know why.

This is the best explanation I found for why that works:
