playlist-dl crashes with: "Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat"

On Linux (Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS), which is based on Ubuntu:

It was working fine until I tried it today and now it crashes when I click on Downloads or Player. This is the message it prints out before it crashes:

Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags<QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption>(), depthBufferSize 24, redBufferSize -1, greenBufferSize -1, blueBufferSize -1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize 8, samples 0, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::DefaultSwapBehavior, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile  QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile) 
Abort (core dumped)

I assume an OS update changed some shared library version that playlist-dl depends on:

Note: Switching from Intel to NVIDIA graphics card (laptop has both) causes the problem to go away.
Previously it worked with the Intel card also, so I am not sure what changed.
