If only firefox would render to the framebuffer, I'd need neither X nor Wayland.

What's the reason why it doesn't?

[-] 10A@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure I'm the only one who'd appreciate it.

I can say with certainty that there is at least one other person who would like this.

I wouldn't normally use it, but occasionally it would be useful. If I have a problem with my desktop, I need to diagnose the issue, and a web browser is handy. If that problem involves X not coming up, then it'd be handy not to rely on elinks or a phone/tablet/laptop to browse to another website to diagnose issues.
