Isn't glow OpenGL? I suppose in theory glyphon's rendering pipeline can be ported to OpenGL, it's just a matter of whether or not the author is up to maintaining that.

Yes, it is.

Yes, he may have an interest in it, being the author of glow.

Something like this might be reasonable, but it would complicate maintainability slightly. @rawhuul is it possible you could use wgpu with its GL backend instead (also uses glow internally)?

rawhuul commented 4 months ago

Yeah sure @grovesNL, will try that

Ah, I didn't know he was the author of glow.

The gl backend on linux nvidia does not work with wgpu so using it is not an option. #4751
