Hi,

Apple officially deprecated OpenGL and
OpenGL ES back in macOS 10.14 (Mojave) in
2018 and iOS 12, sunsetting native
support in favor of Metal.

And then in the Windows and Linux world,
for surface management, there is Wayland
Compositor. But new GPUs that share system
memory, also help here.

Open-Source Drivers (amdgpu & mesa):
Unlike NVIDIA's historical proprietary
hurdles, AMD's graphics drivers are fully
open-source and built directly into
the Linux kernel and Mesa.

Native GBM Support: AMD's driver stack
natively and cleanly implements GBM
(Generic Buffer Management) and DRM/KMS,
which is the exact standard modern
Wayland compositors (like GNOME/Mutter,
KDE/KWin, Sway, and Hyprland) rely on
to allocate buffers and manage displays.

Unified Memory (APU Advantage): Because
an AMD APU shares system RAM between
the CPU and the integrated GPU, zero-copy
buffer sharing under Wayland is
exceptionally efficient.

Bye
