Running Hex Kit on modern Linux systems via Lutris

In attempting to run Hex Kit on my current desktop Linux distro, I found that the native Linux version – unfortunately – no longer runs – or rather, it runs, but then crashes immediately once it tries to draw the contents of the application windows.

[69232:0722/012218.684735:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(894)] The display compositor is frequently crashing. Goodbye.

My gut feeling is this is an incompatibility with Wayland – Hex Kit hasn’t been updated in a couple of years and Wayland has seen pretty decent adoption since then. So I tried running it under Lutris and found that it would run, but also very poorly, and the contents of all windows were just blank. Bars, but no windows. So close.
