From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wayfire is a 3D Wayland compositor, inspired by Compiz and based on wlroots. It aims to create a customizable, extendable and lightweight environment without sacrificing its appearance.

v0.8.1 is a bug-fix release with a few new features. Notable changes:

  • Compatible with wlroots 0.17.x releases and wf-config 0.8.x

  • Support for multiple new protocols:

    • shortcuts-inhibit-v1 (shotcuts-inhibit plugin, #1969)
    • fractional-scale-v1
    • wlr_drm_lease_v1 for non-desktop outputs
    • input-method-v1 for better fcitx5 support (#2172).

  • Wayfire's IPC has been extended with many new signals and commands:

    • Has methods to get view, output and workspace (and workspace-set) information
    • Signals for view-mapped, unmapped, plugin-activation-state-changed and several others.
    • More plugins can be activated via the IPC, check the full commit log for details.

  • Wayfire supports SIGINT, SIGTERM for graceful shutdown (#2056, #2197)

  • Oswitch has binding to switch in the other direction (#2072)

  • Many crashes and bugs were fixed, including regressions in the 0.8.0 release.
