Description

Provides the reference Wayland compositor used to test protocol behavior, demonstrate compositor features, and run simple Wayland sessions. It is useful for developers, testers, and advanced users who need a known baseline for Wayland behavior.

This is a compositor, not a full polished desktop environment. It can control displays, windows, and input during a session, so it is mainly suited to testing, development, kiosks, or specialized setups.
