As Thiago said Posix is for the core stuff not for the GUI, though it is more 
than filesystem and network, the core eventloop needs a unix poll(), or a port 
of glib. For a gui you just need some way of reading input and for rendering 
output. If you support libinput for instance the first part is covered, but 
you can also do your own thing, and the second just means we need a API for 
opening and writing to a framebuffer and perhaps tell the system when it 
should flip/sync the buffer. Getting the graphics working is almost the 
simplest part.
