I ran across this and it might be of interest.

It lists the MacOS™ console as an option.
I definitely like the MacOS™ systems. If they had better device driver
support for all my peripherals, I'd be using a MacOS™ system.
As to using the GPU directly for graphics, OpenGL and Vulkan can do
that. However, they require a shading language. So, you need another
programming language involved. You couldn't just write your program
in Java 7. The shader languages are supposed to be Java 7 like. Haven't
experimented with them yet, but I would have preferred to stick with
one language for agentic development. SDL 3.x is going to include its own
shader language. Haven't decided whether I'm going to upgrade the SDL
programs I use to work with it, leave them as SDL 1.x and 2.x or try
to find another graphics library to work with.
I keep searching for useful Java 7 GUI libraries and graphics libraries
(possibly something besides SDL). It's surprising how few there are
that I would consider good solutions.

Hoping your eyes get better soon.
