Could you build this?
No Building a native, multi-purpose graphics engine from scratch for Linux (avoiding GTK/Electron) that handles vector, pixel, layout, and motion requires massive low-level graphics engineering.
What it would actually take: This software demands a custom 2D rendering engine built directly on Vulkan, Wayland/X11 protocols, and low-level rendering libraries (like Skia or custom GPU shader pipelines). It requires implementing complex non-destructive raster/vector layer stacks, font rasterization engines, color management pipelines, and keyframe interpolation math. Accomplishing this requires veteran systems programmers and graphics engine developers with years of experience in low-level Linux graphics architectures.
