Yeah on xorg it just draws a window on top of the terminal. It is a hack but one that works pretty well, it also supports framebuffer and supposedly even Window

Yeah on xorg it just draws a window on top of the terminal. It is a hack but one that works pretty well, it also supports framebuffer and supposedly even Windows. In fact many other terminal tools use w3m-img for image display on the terminal. Though both sixel and kitty protocols are nicer (kitty being as close to ideal as it gets), they're unfortunately not as widely supported.
