Run headless blink engine on a graphics engine like Google's filament engine

[Rovel Stars]

Is it possible to run a blink engine on a different graphics engine like Filament from https://google.github.io/filament engine? If not possible, what are the different type of graphic rendering engines that blink can run on? I can think of xorg and Wayland but they use too much resources 🤔

I don't see how Filament is relevant (it seems to be a physically-based renderer for 3D models, not an environment for display presentation).

You can do without a window server using the Linux kernel's DRM subsystem (see ui/ozone/platform/drm/) to directly render with Vulkan or OpenGL and then present to the screen directly. Some more "embedded" devices use this or a similar path.
