'''General Graphics Interface''' (GGI) was a project that aimed to develop a reliable, stable and fast [[computer graphics]] system that works everywhere.<ref name="IncHall2001">{{cite book|author1=Loki Software, Inc|author2=John R. Hall|title=Programming Linux Games|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7eAPUdU3hRUC&pg=PA56|year=2001|publisher=No Starch Press|isbn=978-1-886411-49-4|page=56}}</ref> The intent was to allow for any program using GGI to run on any [[computing platform]] supported by it, requiring at most a [[compiler|recompilation]]. GGI is [[free and open-source software]], subject to the requirements of the [[MIT License]].
The GGI project, and its related projects such as KGI, are generally acknowledged to be dead.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTYyNg|title=The Kernel Graphics Interface (KGI) Is Effectively Dead - Phoronix|last=Larabel|first=Michael|date=3 July 2011|website=www.phoronix.com|access-date=2019-06-08}}</ref>
