Description

Provides a dynamic Wayland compositor built around a small, scriptable design. It is useful for users who want a keyboard-driven desktop environment they can configure with external tools instead of a large integrated shell.

Changing compositors affects login sessions, displays, input devices, and window behavior. Keep a fallback session available while testing configuration changes.
