Window Managers after Xorg

With the sunsetting of Xorg based environments the need for bespoke window management experiences has not gone away. But a new approach is needed that fits the Wayland paradigm.

Mir is a library for building Wayland compositors that supports a wide range of projects with their own Window Management needs: 1. embedded displays with a single fullscreen app (Ubuntu Frame); 2. phones and tablets with multiple fullscreen or staged apps (Lomiri); 3. "floating" Desktop Environments (Lomiri and Miriway); and, 3. "tiling" Desktop Environments (Miracle-wm).

We will cover a range of topics including: 1. building a compositor with Mir and customizing the window management; 2. integration with Desktops Environments such as XFCE, LXQt, MATE and Budgie; and 3. the deployment in distributions (Fedora LXQt Spin and Fedora Miracle Window Manager Spin)
