Labwc is a minimalistic wlroots-based compositor for Wayland, resembling openbox. It focuses on efficiently stacking windows and adding minimal window decorations. Labwc relies on clients for additional functionalities like panels and wallpapers to form a complete desktop environment. It aligns with wlroots and sway in its design and coding principles. Labwc exclusively supports wayland-protocols and wlr-protocols, avoiding other technologies like dbus and sway/i3-IPC to prevent fragmentation in Wayland adoption. This approach may be controversial, but Labwc’s dedication to a streamlined Wayland experience sets it apart.
