I once had a very bad idea to create a UEFI application that was basically a RDP client (for the hell of it ofc) Then I had to use a framebuffer driver with a BSD because it lacked GPU support for the machine I was on and dear god, the web was basically unusable.

It might not be that bad; there's a BLT api in the boot services that you could use as a UEFI application, but OSes can't use after calling ExitBootServices. UEFI has a network api too (which I've seen people disparage, but might be usable enough). I have other crazy ideas though, so I won't steal yours. :)
