Description

@oessaid

Installation of nixGLNvidia fails with latest drivers on Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS):

$ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix profile install github:guibou/nixGL#nixGLNvidia --impure

It looks for a driver file that's not available in https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/.

What is the best mitigation for this? I've seen this issue pop up on the repo from time to time (i.e. there were other issues like this one in the past, e.g. this one)
