Frame: First Linux X Server Written in Assembly Released

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

Frame is the first X server for Linux written entirely in assembly language, aiming for minimalism and performance. It supports basic X11 functionality and runs on x86-64 systems. The project is open-source and available on GitHub.

Meridian48 take
While niche, Frame could interest developers exploring low-level graphics or retro computing, but its practical impact is limited given modern display servers like Wayland.
