Everything in web-decker is drawn to a canvas using a custom software-rendered imgui-style UI toolkit. I considered this approach essential for maintaining fidelity across platforms and implementations, but it does come with notable accessibility and performance tradeoffs.
There is a native version of Decker implemented in C using SDL2. It's fairly easy to build from source for Linux[0], and I offer periodic Windows and MacOS builds on itch.io[1].
