First release of LWQt, a Wayland-based variant of the LXQt wrapper

Introduced the first release of LWQt, a variant of the LXQt 1.0 custom shell, converted to use the Wayland protocol instead of X11. Like LXQt, the LWQt project is presented as a lightweight, modular, and fast user environment that adheres to the methods of classic desktop organization. The project code is written in C++ using the Qt framework and distributed under the LGPL 2.1 license.

The first release includes the following components, adapted to work in a Wayland-based environment (the rest of the LXQt components are used without modification):

  • LWQt Mutter is a composite manager based on Mutter.
  • LWQt KWindowSystem is a library for working with window systems, ported from KDE Frameworks 5.92.0.
  • LWQt QtWayland - Qt module with the implementation of components for running Qt applications in the Wayland environment, ported from Qt 5.15.2.
  • LWQt Session is a session manager.
  • LWQt Panel - panel.
  • LWQt PCManFM is a file manager.
