Maybe you need to run with nixGL? Something like nix run --impure github:guibou/nixGL -- ./results/bin/niri

It worked...thanks

I don't know how to run nix run compiled application with nixGL, so I searched for the binary in /nix/store and executed directly

Yeah well I'm not very familiar with nix either, but glad you got it working
