Jay

Jay is a wayland compositor written in rust.

This project is in very early development and not yet ready for serious use.

For now this repository serves purely as a code backup. Do not expect any kind of structured commit history.

Dependencies

While Jay is written almost completely in rust, it depends on the following libraries:

• libinput.so: For processing input events.
• libEGL.so, libGLESv2.so: For OpenGL rendering.
• libgbm.so: For graphics buffer allocation.
• libxkbcommon.so: For keymap handling.
• libudev.so: For device enumeration and hotplug support.
• libcairo.so, libpangocairo-1.0.so, libgobject-2.0.so, libpango-1.0.so: For text rendering.

Furthermore, Jay depends on the following runtime services:

• An up-to-date linux kernel
• XWayland: For XWayland support.
• Pipewire: For screen-recording.
• A running X server: For the X backend. (Only required if you want to run Jay as an X client.)
• Logind: For the metal backend. (Only required if you want to run Jay from a TTY.)
