📄 Description

Reported to Smithay side as well: https://github.com/Smithay/smithay/issues/1804

NVIDIA bugs, what a fun time..

If Vulkan instance is created, EGL is killed, doesn't happen under Intel or AMD GPUs.
~~Marked as draft initially since it's a very "dirty" workaround, basically relying on checking for existence of nvidia-smi.~~

Undrafted, using /sys/class/ for checks rather than Vulkan API + removed nvidia-smi workaround.
