Hello,

[Linux framebuffer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_framebuffer) (aka fbdev) is a graphic hardware-independent abstraction layer to show graphics on a computer monitor, typically on the system console. It’s generally available as /dev/fb0 or /dev/fb1 device. Drawing of Linux framebuffer is particularly popular in embedded systems. I wonder if some of you have ever try to use Julia to create quite simple user interfaces with linux framebuffer ie without a desktop environment and have some examples.

Kind regards

Kind regards
