Possibly because your GPU is not capable to run it.

• If you have dual GPU, try to run it with the strongest one. For example:

# With a nvidia GPU with nvidia driver, use prime-run
prime-run alacritty
# With an AMD GPU, or a nvidia GPU with nouveau driver, use DRI_PRIME
DRI_PRIME=1 alacritty

• If you have no powerful GPU, try this:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 alacritty

• Or don’t use alacritty and use qterminal, which works fine for me.

Thank you guys

I solve it with:

nano /etc/environment

This file is parsed by pam_env module

Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on separate lines

adding this line:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true

Thank you so much

/etc/environment

Be aware that this setting affects the whole system, it’s not alacritty specific.
The proper way is to create a local desktop file with this prepended to the command.
Better investigate the other options I posted to find a better method, if there is one.
