wlroots

wlroots is a flexible and composable C library that abstracts backends (KMS/DRM, libinput, X11, headless) and implements a full suite of Wayland protocols. It’s designed to empower compositor developers to focus on unique features rather than boilerplate, offering support for rendering, input, output management, and XWayland integration.

Features

Backend abstraction: KMS/DRM, libinput, X11, headless
Modular Wayland protocol support and extensions
Renderer abstraction to avoid direct GL coding
Built-in XWayland integration
