I used the Nobara Driver Manager to do it, so i can't really tell you how it works on Mint. It might be that youi have to reinstall your video drivers too, since those functions are closely related in my driver manager. FWIW, you might wanna look at the available renderer options for vulkan.
This is where i can reinstall Mesa and my Drivers, maybe it helps:
I explicitely chose Nobara because it's well documented that Nvidia Cards tend to cause issues, and Nobara makes handling the situation easy.
Hey, just letting you know I sorted the issue, the thread I opened about it on the mint forums is here if you're interested in more details: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2691196#p2691196
It turned out that the base mesa and mesa (extra) packages were duplicated on my system, so just uninstalling both of them and reinstalling only one copy fixed it. It wasn't the mesa-vulkan-drivers though, but very similar to your problem. Your information did help me to the solution.
Thanks for your help!
I'm happy that i could help you find the solution to your issues, thanks for letting me know!
Okay, thanks, I'll take a look at my options there.
And I do also have an nvidia card. Thanks for the help!
