Description
Hi,
Preface: I am closer to a noob than novice when it comes to Rust and computer science.
I have been using your crate for a YouTube Snake Tutorial and it won't load. I found the following message and was advised by the video's creator to contact you all.
"thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to initialize any backend! Wayland status: NoCompositorListening X11 status: XOpenDisplayFailed', /u/tlan2/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/winit-0.19.1/src/platform/linux/mod.rs:450:9
note: Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace."
I am using an Acer Chromebook 15 with Secure Shell App. Is there a way to fix my issue?
Thank you in advance!

Research direction
Reproduce the failure on the Acer Chromebook Secure Shell environment with RUST_BACKTRACE=1, then inspect winit-0.19.1/src/platform/linux/mod.rs around line 450 and the reported Wayland and X11 backend statuses. Done means establishing whether this environment is supported and identifying an actionable fix or limitation.
