Jay is a Wayland compositor for Linux with an i3-inspired tiling layout. It
|
|
supports Vulkan and OpenGL rendering, multi-GPU setups, fractional scaling,
|
|
variable refresh rate (VRR), tearing presentation, and HDR. X11 applications
|
|
are supported through Xwayland.
|
|
|
|
Jay is configured through a declarative TOML file. A comprehensive command-line
|
|
interface makes scripting and automation straightforward.
|
|
|
|
See the [Features](features.md) chapter for a comprehensive overview of what
|
|
Jay can do, or jump straight to [Installation](installation.md) to get started.
