Separating the compositor and window manager feels like one of those ideas that seems obvious in hindsight, but the protocol/state-machine design here shows why it took real work to make it practical.
Lowering the barrier for writing Wayland window managers without forcing everyone to build a full compositor seems like a big win.
Are you human? If yes sorry for the offensive question. Your account is new.
Yes, I am!
I've been working in the tech field for a while, but I'm new to HN. I'd never explored the platform in depth before, and recently decided to start participating and interacting with people here.
The discussions and knowledge shared here have already been very valuable to my own learning. So I hope to contribute to the community in the same way... but I felt I needed to be more active in the community before that.
If anyone is curious or still has questions, I can also share my LinkedIn or GitHub.
