BTW, the reason this actually crashes is because since mesa 23.3 the Zink driver is the first fallback in mesa. After the nvidia driver fails to load due to missing egl-wayland, the next EGL driver to try is Zink and unfortunately that crashes with nvidia 535. With nvidia 550 the Zink crash seems to be resolved, so applications work again - but through Zink+nvidia-vulkan which is not the optimal path today.

Prior to mesa 23.3 this would fall back to llvmpipe instead.
