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
- Output layout helpers for display arrangement
- Composable independent modules for custom builds
