Your system is ready to brew.

Verification

• My brew doctor output says Your system is ready to brew. and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I ran brew update and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I have resolved all warnings from brew doctor and that did not fix my problem.
• I searched for recent similar issues at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues?q=is%3Aissue and found no duplicates.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

I tried to run neovide
why: because I like it and use it on MacOS

What happened (include all command output)?

Neovide panicked with the message 'Failed to create winit event loop: NotSupported(NotSupportedError)'. (File: src/window/mod.rs; Line: 126, Column: 38)

What did you expect to happen?

I'd expect neovide to run

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

Install neovide with brew on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Desktop (fresh install, minimal customizations).
Ryzen 7950X3D, Nvidia 4090
According to the neovide maintainer the build configuration for neovide on Linux is the same as on MacOS, the code that panics should not even run on Linux.

/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/neovide$ file bin/neovide
bin/neovide: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/lib/ld.so, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=ff0169ef0030e1a75945e38890c785244a1f5205, stripped

It seems unlikely that the macOS version would produce that output. (ELF executables don't work on macOS, much less ELF executables for GNU/Linux.)

You might want to adjust the issue title accordingly.

From glance, the code that failed should still run on Linux. Line 125 and 128 may be macOS-only but 126 doesn't seem so.

Anyways, the line that fails is for winit library. Probably need someone to check how Neovide's windowing and graphics are set up on Linux side.

I would guess there are some missing X11 or Wayland dependencies.

May also need to check on OpenGL(Mesa) or Vulkan dependencies.
