The flatpak version stopped working with the following error:

$ flatpak run org.blender.Blender 
Read prefs: /home/micha/.var/app/org.blender.Blender/config/blender/3.0/config/userpref.blend
intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_WindowX11.cpp:206: X11 glXChooseVisual() failed, verify working openGL system!
initial window could not find the GLX extension
Writing: /tmp/blender.crash.txt

On Arch Linux with NVIDIA driver 510.54. The official blender works fine but the flatpak doesn't anymore but used to.

A workaround is to manually install:

flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-510-54

Or is that a requirement for any flatpak app using OpenGL?

What is your NVIDIA driver version on your distro?

What is your NVIDIA driver version on your distro?

Its NVIDIA driver 510.54 from the Arch repo.
After installing the matching flatpak version on the system level it works.

It took me 30 min of searching for a solution (see above). Is there a way to make that some kind of soft dependency?
