 .nix-profile/bin/alacritty Error: Error creating GL context; Received multiple errors: Could not create EGL display object `glXQueryExtensionsString` found no glX extensions Error: "Event loop terminated with code: 1"

Running debian stable and installed alacritty using nix package manager

Some users suggest using this - https://github.com/guibou/nixGL. But i get this error
