How To Install libtwin on Fedora 34

libtwin is Tiny Window System Tiny Window System

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libtwin on Fedora 34.

What is libtwin

With embedded systems gaining high resolution displays and powerful cpus, the desire for sophisticated graphical user interfaces can be realized in even the smallest of systems. While the cpupower available for a given power budget has increased dramatically, these tiny systems remain severely memory constrained. This unique environment presents interesting challenges in graphical system design and implementation. To explore this particular space, a new window system, Twin, has been developed. Using ideas from modern window systems in larger environments, Twin offers overlapping translucent windows, anti-aliased graphics and scalable fonts in a total memory budget of 100KB. libtwin 0.0.3 23.fc34 x86_64 84 k libtwin-0.0.3-23.fc34.src.rpm fedora Tiny Window System http LGPLv2+ With embedded systems gaining high resolution displays and powerful cpus, the desire for sophisticated graphical user interfaces can be realized in even the smallest of systems.
