Smithay is a modular toolkit for building Wayland compositors in Rust. Rather than a standalone compositor, it provides building blocks like protocol handlers, session backends, DRM abstractions, and input/output utilities. It supports core and extended Wayland protocols, libseat, tablets, graphics tablets, Xwayland, and more. It's mature and under active development, providing a “smithy” for compositor authors.
Features
- Wayland protocol implementation modules
- Support for session backends including libseat
- Input device support including tablets
- DRM and Xwayland integration
- Compositor primitives: surfaces, render loops, event handling
- MIT-licensed and mature ecosystem
