Frame: The First Linux Assembly X Server for Ultimate Control

Frame – the first Linux Assembly X server

I built Frame, a custom X server written entirely in Assembly, to replace the massive X11 codebase. This lightweight solution runs my entire desktop, including Firefox and GIMP, with significantly lower CPU usage and better battery life. By owning every layer of my software stack, from the kernel to the shell, I achieve a system that sits completely still until I interact with it.
