Description

Hello,

I am seeking a viable small footprint alternative to Xorg for a special project that will need to run just one application that is an RDP/VNC client and normally can run on X11 systems like Linux.

I am wondering if Nano-X has a small footprint when coupled with the X11 compability library NX11.

The Openindiana OS (https://www.openindiana.org/) is based on Solaris and can run many Linux applications that have been ported but currently uses Xorg and for my project, I need something significantly smaller than Xorg.

Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Research direction

The issue mentions Nano-X, the NX11 X11 compatibility library, and OpenIndiana illumos-based systems, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the project's platform and NX11 documentation, then determine whether OpenIndiana support is feasible; the issue does not define a concrete completion criterion.
