    Graphical apps like #Alacritty now works, it just needs something called #NixGL installed, and then you have to run the application from the terminal with nixGL, example:

    nixGL alacritty

    Which does mean you couldn't just launch it from its desktop entry/icon, since that'll run without     nixGL and fail. I thought to update its .desktop file, and I found it at:
    ~/.nix-profile/share/applications/Alacritty.desktop

    but it seems that said file is meant to be read-only, so.. dk. Happy to see     nixGL works tho!
