I parsed the error like this:

(ins)efraim <at> 3900XT ~$ DISPLAY="" alacritty
thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to initialize any backend! Wayland status: NoWaylandLib X11 status: XOpenDisplayFailed', /tmp/guix-build-alacritty-0.12.0.drv-0/source/guix-vendor/rust-winit-0.28.3.tar.gz/src/platform_impl/linux/mod.rs:757:9
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace


(ins)efraim <at> 3900XT ~$ DISPLAY="" alacritty
thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to initialize any backend! Wayland status: NoWaylandLib
(no wayland library found!)

X11 status: XOpenDisplayFailed', /tmp/guix-build-alacritty-0.12.0.drv-0/source/guix-vendor/rust-winit-0.28.3.tar.gz/src/platform_impl/linux/mod.rs:757:9
(something something XOpenDislay failed! with that source location)

note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
