Question

Hello everyone, I have a question: does HaxeFlixel run on OpenGL 2.1?

This is up to the backend library, Lime. It doesn't request a specific version, but it requests a compatibility profile of at minimum OpenGL 2. The actual version you'll get is hardware dependant, except on Mac, where the only supported compatibility profile version of OpenGL is indeed 2.1.

Actually, I’m on Linux – if that’s the case, is it yes or no? Lime is just a compiler.

Like I said, it requests a OpenGL compatibility profile but not a specific version. The minimum is OpenGL 2 but what you'll actually get depends on your GPU.

Also, Lime isn't just a "compiler". It doesn't do any compiling whatsoever. Lime is responsible for all the backend operations between the OS and the app, which includes creating a window and requesting an OpenGL context

I don't have a video card, I have an Intel i3 built into the processor.
