Will Fyne run on a Raspberry Pi Zero without a desktop environment? e.g. fullscreen with no other distractions other than the app? I'm making a touchscreen interface and I'd like something to boot directly into a UI with no other OS visible on screen...

It appears to use glfw, so there's this: https://www.glfw.org/docs/3.3/window_guide.html#window_full_...

But it would still be x11 or wayland underneath...it doesn't support direct Linux framebuffers.

We test on rPi4 but you will need X or Wayland to boot the graphics driver and run your fullscreen app at this time.
