Ubuntu Summit 2024 | Miriway: Worlds of Wayland

"Miri" (the plural of mir) derives from the Russian for "world"; and "way" is for Wayland, a protocol used by graphical shells (not the craftsman in European folklore). Together these make Miriway: an easy way to leverage the Mir compositor engine to build Wayland based desktop environments. There are many components to a desktop environment: backgrounds, panels, launchers, onscreen keyboards, notifications, etc. Miriway provides a Wayland compositor (which handles the display, input and window management) leaving the rest to be configured.
