Xfwl4 - The roadmap for a Xfce Wayland Compositor
Summary
Xfce plans xfwl4, a Rust-based Wayland compositor built from scratch to mirror xfwm4's behavior. The project aims to modernize the desktop stack while reusing existing configuration and ensuring seamless transition, addressing X11 dependencies by moving to Wayland and smithay as the base. Development scope includes session startup changes, XWayland support, xdg-session-management, and CI/build upgrades, with a mid-year release target.
