Hello,
I successfully installed 10.15.4 on my Dell Optiplex 7010
i5-3570
IntelHD 2500 graphics

I mounted EFI, so it boots normally.
BUT MY PROBLEM IS, that animations are glitchy and in "about my Mac" it shows, "Intel HD Graphics 2500 5 MB"
Is there a way to fix that?
This is my second mackintosh, but I had AMD graphics before, so I never experienced anything like this.
Thanks all for your replies
 
HD 2500 graphics are not supported in Catalina.
 
And is it supported in older versions? For example I have full access to High Sierra, so...
 
HD 2500 is limited to only CI support, but there is no QE support.

Quartz Compositor is the windowing system that is responsible for the user interface in Mac OS X. Starting with Mac OS X 10.2, Quartz Compositor was extended by Quartz Extreme, which uses OpenGL to render screen displays faster by presenting them as textures within a 3D OpenGL context. This permits faster compositing of screen images using 3D hardware acceleration.

Take home point: to get hardware acceleration, either swap out your CPU for one with HD4000 or install a macOS supported graphics card. Don't waste your time with HD2500, it's not worth using. It works fine with Windows or Linux, not macOS.
