For 99% of users, the answer is to switch your system to use the i965 driver and stop trying to run Vulkan applications on Intel HD Graphics 2500. Your Ivy Bridge machine remains an excellent Linux desktop for web browsing, office work, and retro gaming—just not for the Vulkan future.
This removes the warning, prevents Vulkan-related crashes, and gives you a stable, predictable system. While you lose Vulkan acceleration, Ivy Bridge’s Vulkan was never fast or complete enough to miss.

because they require specific Vulkan extensions that Ivy Bridge simply cannot provide. UI Glitches
Vulkan on Ivy Bridge is not viable for modern gaming. Expect 5-15 FPS with graphical corruption.
The VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST at BOS-07 wasn't a hardware failure. It was a death by a thousand paper cuts. A shader had requested a 64-bit float operation. The driver had tried to emulate it with a software routine. The routine had taken 50 milliseconds too long. The Vulkan queue had timed out. The GPU had reset. And now, Boston was 3.4 seconds behind the rest of the grid.
