Enlightenment E19 To Have Full Wayland Support

Posted by Unknown on from the brushed-metal dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Full Wayland support has been added to Enlightenment 0.19. Building upon earlier Wayland support, Enlightenment can now act as its own Wayland compositor by communicating directly with the kernel's DRM drivers instead of having to rely upon Weston. The Wayland support is still considered experimental but it's now the first Linux desktop with full Wayland support." Quick README on building and using it.

    "Direct Rendering Manager" has existed for something like a decade already.

    There is also a Wayland distro called Rebecca Black OS. Although when I tested it last time, it was super glitchy and crashed all the time. It has been recently updated so it might be worth another shot.

    Anyway, great to see the Wayland stuff rolling in.
