Replit has redesigned its native graphics system to be faster and more reliable, fixing common issues like application launch failures and window resizing. The update uses TigerVNC to replace the previous Xorg and custom x11vnc setup, and ensures the window manager initializes before applications start to prevent crashes. Additionally, Teams for Education users now get 4x more compute power for Java repls, improving the Java Swing experience.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://replit.com/blog/native-graphics-love:

> Our engineers have built a native graphics experience that is faster, more reliable, and elegant. Games and other native GUI applications launch quickly and reliably on our platform.
