Bug: App starts but window doesn't render

[vvzen]

The app starts but a blank window is displayed and nothing is rendered.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

$ wget https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/releases/download/v7.11.3/focalboard-linux.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf focalboard-linux.tar.gz 
$ cd focalboard-app
$ ./focalboard-app 

Expected behavior

App starts fine.

Googling the main NVIDIA error, it seems similar to:

• Fails to create window on NVIDIA ValveSoftware/gamescope#816
• Does not create window (on X11) ValveSoftware/gamescope#704

Setting __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD to 1 seems to fix it:

$ export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
$ ./focalboard-app 
# ..stuff works..

I have the same problem - I get a white window, no matter the size or if fullscreen.
I can't really say what changed - maybe it was after an update of my NixOS 23.05 with a
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 and driver version 535.86.05
(0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060 Rev. A] (rev a1)

PS:
works fine with Indel HD Graphics on another device..

I also found a workaround on Redit: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/16tzu8w/tauri_issue/
just start the Tauri app with environment variable __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
