The app can't easily do that without being significantly rewritten. The
reason is that applications just use OpenGL in the best form Mesa offers
it. For your system, and most apps, that's still using the hardware GPU.
Just not for obs-studio which seems to have slightly more stringent
modern GPU
I am not sure about the resolution of this bug... If I use:
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 obs
OBS studio works perfectly ok. So I think that hard-crashing the app is
not really a nice solution, no? Shouldn't just propose to use software
GL?

Title:
This sounds like your GPU doesn't support the required OpenGL version.
I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about that.
