Hi, I'm curious if your OS supports any sort of graphics acceleration on the Pi? I recall trying to use Chromium on an older Pi and it was painfully slow to work with. I also seem to remember some developers were working on a more modern X server that supported some of the acceleration available in the Pi's GPU or something similar.

Thanks and I'm excited to try your OS on some projects!

Indeed. I know that the Pi3 has experimental acceleration stuff, but I didn't get time to understand how to implement it. See optional experimental GL desktop driver (can be enabled using advanced options in command-line raspi-config) mention in raspbian release notes.
If anyone wants to test and report, I can add this.
