Describe the solution you'd like?

Hello,

is it possible to run Warp on hardware without Metal (API) support fe. by turning off support for Metal in configuration? 

Perhaps it can be detected that given hardware is pre Metal and show message in GUI if there is no fallback possibility.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Warp doesn't open any windows, just menus: "[ERROR] error opening window: could not obtain metal device".

Thanks for opening. We saw one other reports of this. I don't think it will be possible but will flag the appropriate people
