+## Common problems
+
+1. `Error: GraphicsAdapterNotFound`
+   
+   This occurs when the selected [built-in renderer] is not able to create a context.
+   
+   Often this will occur while using [`iced_wgpu`] as the renderer without
+   supported hardware (needs Vulkan, Metal or DX12). In this case, you could try using the
+   [`iced_glow`] renderer:
+
+   First, check if it works with
+   ```console
+   $ cargo run --features "iced/glow iced/glow_canvas" --package game_of_life
+   ```
+
+   and then use it in your project with
+   ```toml
+   iced = { version = "0.3", default-features = false, features = ["glow"] }
+   ```
+
+   **NOTE:** Chances are you have hardware that supports at least OpenGL 2.1 or OpenGL ES 2.0,
+   but if you don't, right now there's no software fallback, so it means your hardware
+   doesn't support Iced.
