Not sure if that's going to help you, and I can't test on my side cause
I converted everything to guix system, but:
try in a
guix shell --pure <packages...>
that way the env vars that point to your host's vulkan are no longer
there, and guix may talk to its own, or at least tell you they are
missing.
For further isolation you may want to use a container, but talking to a
GPU through a container is hard. I managed it with something like:
guix shell --network --container --emulate-fhs --share=/dev/dri \
--share=/dev/kfd \
--expose=/sys \
and that lets me use rocm acceleration for linear algebra. I don't know
if it'll work for graphics applications.
cheers,
Edouard.
