Wayland

Wayland is a display server protocol for UNIX-ish operating systems, replacing the X11 protocol. I use it every day via river and tarazed.

Many people seem to strongly dislike it, but I don't find their arguments very compelling. There are things I myself do not like about wayland, but they are curiously never mentioned by those people 🤷

I have written a few utility programs for wayland. As with all my projects, no generative AI was used in their creation, at all. Note that my river related wayland projects are not listed here.

• lswt lists wayland toplevels ("windows").

• wlopm is a utility for output power management.

• wayprompt is a drop-in pinentry replacement.

• wayneko is an xneko clone.

• wayloadmon is a system load widget.

• wlclock is an xclock clone.

• wayve is a screen saver.

• snayk is a snake clone.

• wat generates activation tokens.

• lavalauncher is a dock-like launcher panel.
