(Hopefully) There are probably some people that are using CachyOS as well, I have installed Houdini 21.0.631 using the launcher, when I am trying to launch Houdini, it crashes after a few seconds during splash screen loading.
Here is the information from the crash log error:
Crash report from b329d3e7; Houdini FX Version 21.0.631 [linux-x86_64-gcc11.2]

I noticed that I was able to launch it, if I specify houdini to use the CPU integrated graphics, but the idea is actually to use my nvidia one.
I have tried to make sure that I have the correct nvidia packages installed, and it seems so.
Anyone else had or is having similar issue?
