Anyone who's tried this, does a 2004 desktop on 2023 computers run fast? Does it run super fast like people would predict?

- badsectoracula 3y agoTQt3 (TDE's Qt3 fork) uses X graphics primitives and the X render extension (if available), both of which are hardware accelerated on modern Xorg via GLAMOR (OpenGL-based 2D graphics acceleration) - at least for the open source drivers which are part of Xorg (i don't know if Nvidia's proprietary driver uses it but chances are if not, they're using their own 2D accelerated graphics anyway), so it shouldn't spend more time pushing pixels around than anything else that uses a HW accelerated API.
