Description

When trying to use qrenderdoc on Ubuntu 22.04.1, my app fails at vkCreateInstance with VK_ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT. I eventually ran the issue down to requesting VK_KHR_wayland_surface.

App runs fine when launched from terminal command line but fails when launched from qrenderdoc.

This is unsurprising as Wayland is not listed as one of the compile-time supported windowing systems. However, Wayland is becoming the default on more OS's and I had to take specific steps to disable it before being able to launch the app.

I'm really not sure what should be done to resolve this but felt it should be noted for other people who might bump into this.

Steps to reproduce

Launch an app requesting VK_KHR_wayland_surface under qrenderdoc and note it fails.
