True, I wanted to mention why it is so difficult to find anything recent relying on frambuffers.
That's why I pointed to the Debian package already, though, you may still need to make changes/paches.
Arch gcc = 10.2.0-4
Debian-stable gcc = 8.3.0-1
But, there still are enough 'old' PKGBUILD's around on github e.d. so it may be possible(for OP) to make a working package with some effort...

Yeah well you may be right about that yes, up until now it still exists and since OP talks about 'experiment' it might be nice to try it long as it lasts;)

There was also this window manager module for directfb, no idea how well that has aged:

By the way, this is an interesting project as well: https://arcan-fe.com/
I looked at it briefly, this is something fromwith a completely different magnitude and may actually be quite promising.
Will read some more later on, thanks for sharing!
