non-monolithic Wayland compositor

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

River is a non-monolithic Wayland compositor: it provides only the compositor itself, while window-management policy is delegated to an external client over a custom Wayland protocol. This separation lets users mix-and-match compositors and window managers. For a list of window manager supporting the river compositor, please see: https://codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/branch/main/pages/wm-list.md
