@rakkar Wf-panel-pi is the panel you see on the top of your Pi's screen. It's a project under the #Wayfire Wayland compositor, and I suppose the package contains Raspberry Pi-specific tweaks or customisation.

Look here for more details.

Cheers!

Is there a way to get the desktop environment of #raspberrypi on other distros outside #raspbian?

The one with #wayfire as compositor

FreeBSD WM

Switched from #hikari to #wayfire , #hikari hasn't been updated in almost 2 years, me security can't do.

#Wayfire is so cool, it should be forbidden
Also they merged my patch so yeyy

Tumbleweed now offers #Wayland support for #LXQt! 🎉 Try it with #Labwc, #KWin, #Wayfire, #Hyprland & more. Experimental but exciting! #openSUSE #OpenSource https://9to5linux.com/opensuse-tumbleweed-now-offers-wayland-support-for-the-lxqt-desktop

Die neue Version von #Xfce kommt mit #Wayland-Unterstützung in #ArchLinux. Ich habe das mal installiert. Beim Einloggen mittels GDM kann man zwischen X oder Wayland wählen.

Xfce/X funktioniert natürlich.

Bei Xfce/Wayland lande ich sofort wieder in GDM … weil der Fenstermanager noch kein Wayland kann. Es braucht noch #labwc oder #wayfire dazu.

Mit labwc startet Xfce dann. Aber fertig ist Xfce/Wayland noch nicht. Einige Dinge tuen leider noch nicht.

Muss ich wohl noch warten. Schade.

@mudkip Nobody mentioning its reincarnation on #Wayland?
#Wayfire plugin cube

@MartinaNeumayer @Linux
From the little I've seen and heard, #Wayfire is basicly the wayland spiritual successor to #Compiz

@cdrmack @maulanahirzan
#Wayland (at least on #FreeBSD) still seems to have some rough edges compared to #X11 when I tried before with #wayfire and #wlmaker.

Both cannot start by existing user whose primary group is wheel (crashed), while newly added test user whose primary group is NOT wheel could start.
(Seems to mis-behave by mis-understanding group 0 as user 0.)

And I couldn't make Japanese input method (tried ibus-mozc) working at least at the momemt. This was fatal and I've stopped investigating #Wayland.

Another problem for me was that I cannot find magnifier working just as the one in #compiz Mag plugin. So I'm still sticking with #X11.

#LXQT apparently now has a #wayland session component that is able to choose between #Labwc, #KWin, #Wayfire, #Hyprland, #Sway, #River and #Niri as back-ends.

I have no idea how they made that work but it's super interesting.

It's somewhat of a reversal of how it was with #Xorg where there was one display server and many window managers while there are now many display servers with one meta-window manager.

What would be the best way to install #wayfire on a #nix subsystem.
An are there any lists or websites that make customization pretty easy like dot files or whatever. I’ve seen some, but i’m new to the whole dot file customization as a #KDE user that just themes with the included tools. 

I ask all this because two days of searching and I have a barely functional wayfire install and no #customization .
so any help would be appreciated.

Further experimentation with Wayfire: swaylock works if you enable the session-lock plugin in wayfire.ini, and apps can pop other apps to the top (like clicking links in an e-mail app moving the web browser up) if you enable the xdg-activation plugin.

Uh, good these are available, absolutely wild they are not defaults. Only found them by accident searching the Wayfire documentation trying to figure out how to get Wayland app ids for programs, a thing that of course has no consistent ways to do it across Wayland compositors because lol Wayland.

Raspberry Pi OS improves touchscreen support and now uses Wayland by default

Raspberry Pi OS is a Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution that’s developed by the Raspberry Pi team and designed to run on the company’s single-board computers. The latest version brings a big change that causal users might not even notice: it uses the labwc Wayland compositor by default on all Raspberry Pi models rather than the wayfire compositor or X Window system.

There’s also a smaller […]

1. #Wayfire это не DE, а оконный менеджер, пусть и композитный изначально ориентированный на #Wayland, но вот ни коим образом не определяет UX/UI — по части где и какие меню с виджетам на десктопе будут или могут быть. можно собрать какое угодно под себя окружение по части UX/UI и потом сверху прикрутить хоть этот, хоть другой оконный менеджер.
   
2. непонятно что именно в том же #KDE мешает использовать Alt+Space для вызова плашки ввода текста? через неё доступны и настройки системы и программы с тулзами. шарахаться через меню в углу экрана, можно не только в #KDE, но и в #Xfce, #MATE, #Cinnamon — и в большинстве это тоже крайний способ, когда руки совсем заняты.
   
3. кроме #Wayfire полно разных композитных оконных менеджеров поддерживающих работу через #Wayland — #^https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Compositors — причём самых разных типов: Dynamic, Tiling, Stacking.

#Wayfire 0.9 is out and with it wf-shell 0.9 is also out. I think the menu size now gets set at runtime if you change it so you don't have to log out and back in, as there's a change that someone made to fix it. Glad it didn't get left in the state I left it in because I didn't know how to get it to update.

Just found out #Wayfire is in Alpine's Testing repo.

#AlpineLinux #Linux #postmarketOS (tagged because this post may be of interest as it's based on Alpine)

Finally got around to taking a screenshot of how the settings I added to wf-shell (menu minimum content height and width) lets you change the #Wayfire wf-shell menu size. It doesn't seem to save unless you click the buttons and hold them to go to the value you want and I don't know why. Sorry. This menu is 650x650 rather than the default 500x500.

I had to manually install #labwc via

sudo apt install labwc

in order to give it a try - only after that it showed up on raspi-config,

but man - apps and windows launch INSTANTLY now 😯.

I triple checked to compare with wayfire and labwc does feel so much faster on a Pi 5 with NVME than wayfire - I hope it will get even better over time, but wow 🤩.

And what do you prefer: X11, wayfire or labwc and why?

Experimenting with #sway for a bit (https://src.jayvii.de/pub/dotfiles/file/sway/.config/sway/config.html). Feels a lot more mature (but obv less flashy) than #wayfire. And really snappy! If you have any tipps or suggestions, feel free to send them my way :) #Linux #wayland
