Prefer GPU-backed receiver rendering#56

I tested the code (using defaults, no env var set): Both: connected via TB cable, same receiver binary (code from this PR), extended display at 5K. Intel iMac 5K 27" 2020, Tahoe 26.5Colours are off, flickers all the time (especially, but not only, when moving the mouse cursor). This PR would basically revert my fix from #12 "by default". Intel iMac 5K 27" 2017, Ventura 13.7.8Interesting: I don't see flickering there, colours are ok. So guess it is either a hw bug in the 2020 model or a Tahoe bug. |

The busy-spin fix seems to be out of scope of this PR, maybe it would be simpler to have it in a separate PR. |
|
I think it's bettere separate the fix in another branch but not for this version but for the coming soon versione with netlink. |

No problem. Thanks for testing. Works fine on my 2019 iMac! I'll try to keep pace with main updates for future consideration. |

Thanks again for this PR — I've now pulled the safe parts of it into our current What I kept:
What I intentionally did not keep as-is is preferring Metal by default on macOS.
So the idea from this PR is definitely useful, but I'm integrating it in a way that preserves the safer Tahoe behaviour by default. If you want, we can later still split the renderer/backend tuning into a smaller dedicated PR once we have more hardware-specific data. |
