Description

Provides the core Wayland protocol libraries used by compositors and applications to communicate about windows, input, outputs, and display surfaces. It is a foundation of modern Linux graphical sessions.

Most users install it as a dependency of the desktop environment, compositor, toolkit, or application stack. It does not provide a complete desktop by itself, but removing it can break Wayland-based graphical sessions.
