Hey, We've only implemented the most important system calls for now (read, write, open, clone and couple others), in order to get Rio working, I'm assuming you will have to implement about a dozen other system calls, and then implement /dev/draw with a Wayland backend. We have an early implementation of /net that you can use as reference while implementing /dev/draw.
