Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor. It is completely written in C. Since version 7 it uses the Meson Build system. The Weston compositor is a minimal and fast compositor.
Installation
$ dnf install weston weston-demo
The demo subpackage provides the clients programs:
weston-calibrator,weston-clickdot,weston-cliptest,weston-confine,weston-dnd,weston-editor,weston-eventdemo,weston-flower,weston-fullscreen,weston-image, ...
Starting Weston
GUI Login with GDM (GNOME Display Manager)
In general you will have the Fedora Workstation Edition installed. Then the graphical login manager allows to choose a Weston session before you enter a password. This is shown in the following picture:
Virtual Console
On the virtual console entering the command weston or weston-launch starts the weston desktop.
Configuration
Weston is configured on a local level with the ~/.config/weston.ini file.

For leaving the weston session the ~/bin/weston-quit file has this content:
#!/bin/bash
JID=`pgrep -fl weston | head -1 | awk '{print $1}'`
kill -9 $JID
The file ~/bin/thunderbird-wayland for the thunderbird launcher has the following content:
#!/usr/bin/bash # # Run Thunderbird under Wayland # export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 exec /usr/bin/thunderbird "$@"
