Is it possible to headless render off the main thread?

[frnsys]

I'm trying to create a HeadlessContext on a separate thread but it doesn't work as winit requires running on the main thread:

thread '<unnamed>' panicked at /home/me/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/winit-0.27.5/src/platform_impl/linux/mod.rs:658:13:
Initializing the event loop outside of the main thread is a significant cross-platform compatibility hazard. If you absolutely need to create an EventLoop on a different thread, you can use the `EventLoopBuilderExtUnix::any_thread` function.

Are there any workarounds? Thanks.

Maybe you can create the render context on the main thread and then move that context to another thread. That's the only option I think. Creating OpenGL contexts on threads is not supported by OpenGL.
