Turns out that Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS has a library out of sync.[1] No Wayland use of Vulkan on LTS until mid-2024. Apparently fixed in Ubuntu 22.10.
Back to Xorg for now.

Why the "" earlier, then? Well, there's Wayland... *Almost everything works as it should, except for native WL apps running on vulkan. It's a known bug that's supposedly being worked on, but with no fix in sight. Vulkan apps running through Xwayland run fine, though. I usually stay on X11, so it doesn't really affect me.

Some Wayland apps were not working due to this issue, but there's a workaround. I set __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json in my /etc/environment and they run fine now.
