[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago (3 children) Anyone know where the sources for this are? I can't find many references to Wayland in the main Cinnamon repo, at least using GitHub's search. I wanted to check if they use wlroots for this or are writing yet another compositor from scratch. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago Cinnamon uses Muffin, which is a fork of GNOME's Mutter: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin permalink fedilink source parent [–] sir_reginald@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago yet another compositor from scratch it's a good thing to have multiple implementations of compositors. that avoids bad practices or making compositor specific programs that wouldn't work with other compositors. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Patch@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I don't think there are many "compositors from scratch" are there? GNOME and KDE both have their own, Cinnamon uses a GNOME fork, and almost everything else I can think of is wlroots based. The only other one I can think of which isn't is Mir, which has been around almost as long as Wayland has. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* There is also Weston which is the reference implementaion of a Wayland compositor. permalink fedilink source parent
