What popular crates are available to build GUIs with widgets WITHOUT GPU? (programming.dev)

For some reason, it seems popular for GUI crates to use the GPU. I just want to make simple widgets, for like a calculator.

No fancy graphics. I want it quite lightweight.

For some reason, popular GUI crates love to do everything through a GPU, which bumps up the memory / cpu use significantly.

You have much to learn Young Padawan. If you're wanting to make a desktop app in Rust it behooves one to avoid embedded web environments. For performance reasons of course.
