Desktopfree

labwc is a lightweight Wayland window-stacking compositor inspired by Openbox, reusing the Openbox theme and configuration spec so setups feel familiar. It targets Linux users who want a minimal, no-frills compositor and prefer pairing it with separate panel, wallpaper, and screenshot tools rather than a bundled desktop environment.
