Wio: A Clone of Plan 9’s Rio for Wayland

Wio: A Clone of Plan 9’s Rio for Wayland

I’ll just let the (3 minute) screencast do the talking first:

In short, Wio is a Wayland compositor based on wlroots which has a similar look and feel to Plan 9’s Rio desktop. I’ve also given Wio some nice features which are easy thanks to wlroots, but difficult on Plan 9 without kernel hacking. Layer shell support is particularly cool, since programs like swaybg and waybar work on Wio.
