  2. Run using any method:
    • Direct: ./NeoHtop_1.2.0_x86_64.AppImage
    • With nixGL: nix run --impure github:nix-community/nixGL -- ./NeoHtop_1.2.0_x86_64.AppImage
    • Software fallback: LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./NeoHtop_1.2.0_x86_64.AppImage

Expected Behavior:
App should launch (with GPU acceleration or software fallback).

System Info:

  • GPU: [Intel ]
  • Display: kde/Wayland
