If nothing else works for your situation, you can also download the Blender binary from [https://www.blender.org/download/ blender.org] and run it in NixOS using a program like [[Nix-ld|nix-ld]] or [https://github.com/thiagokokada/nix-alien nix-alien], patch the binary manually (see: [[Packaging/Binaries]]), or try using a container like [[Distrobox]] (see: [https://distrobox.it/useful_tips/#using-the-gpu-inside-the-container Distrobox: Using the GPU Inside the Container]). | If nothing else works for your situation, you can also download the Blender binary from [https://www.blender.org/download/ blender.org] and run it in NixOS using a program like [[Nix-ld|nix-ld]] or [https://github.com/thiagokokada/nix-alien nix-alien], patch the binary manually (see: [[Packaging/Binaries]]), or try using a container like [[Distrobox]] (see: [https://distrobox.it/useful_tips/#using-the-gpu-inside-the-container Distrobox: Using the GPU Inside the Container]). | ||

A cross-distro issue on KDE Plasma with NVIDIA. A workaround option that doesn't require downgrading is to force XWayland by running Blender with the following command. See more information at the related {{issue|link=https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/155467||issue}} on Blender's repo. | |||
