Describe the problem

Launching Arduino IDE v2 on NixOS, both with the nixpkgs package and the AppImage, crashes the IDE before a window is even created.

To reproduce

Method 1:

• Use NixOS set up for AppImage
• Download Arduino IDE v2.3.6
• Run the IDE from the terminal
  Method 2:
• Use NixOS with Flakes
• Run Arduino IDE: nix run nixpkgs#arduino-ide

Expected behavior

The IDE should launch.

Arduino IDE version

2.3.6

Operating system

Linux

Operating system version

NixOS 25.11.20250624.30a61f0 (Xantusia)

Additional context

I use NixOS with Hyprland, so the issue may be due to missing dependencies or DE functions.
