Tooting again for the general public:
The team behind wlroots is fundraising for a hackathon to get everyone together to work on it, and we'd appreciate your support! wlroots is a library used by many Wayland compositors, most notably Sway, Way Cooler, and Waymonad, which help i3, AwesomeWM, and Xmonad users transition to Wayland for better performance+battery life+security+features.
Please consider supporting us!

@sir Brilliant. Thanks.
@phenethylamine I'll also post an update for backers with the link when we go live 😉
@sir If I manage to pull together the money I'll definitely back. I've been following wlroots (and swaywm, since it's probably what I'll be using) fairly closely and I'm pretty excited about how y'all are making wayland more accessible
@phenethylamine sweet 🙂 we're very glad you like it!
@sir
I'll throw 20 bucks at it on pay day :P
@sir
Sent in early. Enjoy!
@sir Does wlroots have a pixman backend if hardware acceleration is not available?
@techrob no, but it performs well with software accelleration using mesa
@sir As good as, say, xfwm4 on pixman (or better)?
@techrob we haven't benchmarked that particular comparison. Try it and let us know?
@sir What twitch channel will y'all be streaming it on? I'll definitely forget the date so it'd be good to get a notification when y'all go live
