Graphical support

Open martinmullins opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I think that using container2wasm could be a great way to preserve software. There is a good setup right now for linux terminal applications.

Are there any ideas for graphical applications?

Having X11 support especially in the browser would enable a large set of applications to be preserved.

@ktock it looks like copy/v86 implement it as VGA input/output in this pull request. it should be very useful, especially for special Linux distros such as Android (which this issue is the main blocker from using it) and Wayland DEs in Linux, like hyperland, sway or the latest gnome.

Thanks for the information, SGTM about adding graphical support.

One option is to emulate framebuffer in WASI using I/O Devices by Wasmer.

Maybe something like this? https://greenfield.app/

It is a web based Wayland compositor
