Acer M5-481T fails Ghostty because Ivy Bridge HD 4000 tops out at OpenGL 4.2 in Mesa; Ghostty needs 4.3 — a generation ceiling, not a missing driver. Document that plus UEFI/x86_64, RAM, and storage floors (Nix store generations + BTRFS snapper + hibernate swap≈RAM). Linked from README, docs map, HARDWARE.md; #95 points here.

**Machine:** Acer Aspire M5-481T only. **Dell XPS 9350 starts Ghostty fine**
|
||||
(Bernardo clarified 2026-07-15 — do not treat XPS as a Ghostty failure).
|
||||
|
||||
**Why this hardware fails:** the Aspire is Ivy Bridge–class (**Intel HD
|
||||
4000**, ~2012). Mesa’s max for that GPU is **OpenGL 4.2**; Ghostty requires
|
||||
**4.3**. That is a **generation ceiling**, not a missing package — no
|
||||
Nomarchy or Mesa tweak can make HD 4000 report 4.3 honestly. Documented in
|
||||
`docs/REQUIREMENTS.md`. The product response is a fallback terminal (or
|
||||
probe), not “fix Intel drivers.”
|
||||
|
||||
On the Acer, Bernardo installed **kitty** by hand (worked) and launched
|
||||
Ghostty from that shell twice — **same box, two lifecycle points, two log
|

shapes**:
