Should we build separate binaries for GLFW and DRM?

malcolmstill commented 3 years ago

I remebered that one reason for a single build would be to allow for the possibility of a shared GL state such you could access the same compositor session on DRM and on X11 / another wayland compositor. E.g.:

Load up compositor on DRM
Switch to another VT, uses foxwhalectl to ask for another output, creating, say, a GLFW window...but it shares the GL state with the DRM output and so you could move windows between them. Just a thought
