Wayland compositors for fun and profit
Abstract
Linux desktop is moving to a new era, ditching complex software spaghetti with years of tech debt with… a protocol? That's it? And you expect some compositor projects replace the almighty X server? Replace just the X server? When the protocol's the limit, we can do far more and far more fun stuff!
We'll explore some more-or-less obscure uses for Wayland compositors and an embedded case study how simple task of porting DOOM to a router ended up with making it run basically all modern Linux desktop apps with it for free, with Rust.
