Ferese

Ferese is an experimental Wayland tiling compositor written in Rust with Smithay. The nested M0–M3 path is complete, including tiling, workspaces, and timestamp-driven animated geometry. Development now targets the M4 early hardware-session milestone in the window-manager specification.

Development

Install the native dependencies required by Smithay's winit and GLES backends, then run:

cargo run -p ferese

Pass a client and its arguments after -- to launch it inside Ferese:

cargo run -p ferese -- foot

Set RUST_LOG=ferese=debug for detailed compositor logging.
