<p>With the sunsetting of Xorg based environments the need for bespoke window management experiences has not gone away. But a new approach is needed that fits the Wayland paradigm.</p> <p><a href="https://canonical.com/mir">Mir</a> is a library for building Wayland compositors that supports a wide range of projects with their own Window Management needs: 1. embedded displays with a single fullscreen app (<a href="https://ubuntu.com/frame">Ubuntu Frame</a>); 2. phones and tablets with multiple fullscreen or staged apps (<a href="https://lomiri.com/">Lomiri</a>); 3. "floating" Desktop Environments (<a href="https://lomiri.com/">Lomiri</a> and <a href="https://github.com/Miriway/Miriway">Miriway</a>); and, 3. "tiling" Desktop Environments (<a href="https://miracle-wm.org/">Miracle-wm</a>).</p> <p>We will cover a range of topics including: 1. building a compositor with Mir and customizing the window management; 2. integration with Desktops Environments such as <a href="https://www.xfce.org/">XFCE</a>, <a href="https://lxqt-project.org/">LXQt</a>, <a href="https://mate-desktop.org/">MATE</a> and <a href="https://buddiesofbudgie.org/">Budgie</a>; and 3. the deployment in distributions (<a href="https://www.fedoraproject.org/spins/lxqt/">Fedora LXQt Spin</a> and <a href="https://www.fedoraproject.org/spins/miraclewm/">Fedora Miracle Window Manager Spin</a>)</p>
