Nope. Both will probably fail when gl rendering is not available for whatever reason. Just tried to run alacritty: https://megous.com/dl/tmp/4af49886c7c9854d.

That'd be the fault of Nvidia proprietary drivers (which are regularly known to cause lot of annoying problems+issues like that across the board) as systems without a hardware GPU can still normally create OpenGL contexts. The day that driver mess is cleaned up a shit ton of problems will disappear overnight.

  Yes, I wish I didn't buy nvidia. Their stupid requirement to have exact same version for client/driver is so annoying. Not an option to buy anything else for a sane price at the moment sadly, due to crypto craze. ;)

You can force alacritty to use a software renderer by setting the env variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Alacritty#Requires_hardware_supporting_GLSL_3.30 https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Alacritty#Requires_hardware...
