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.

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 $JID
The file ~/bin/thunderbird-wayland for the thunderbird launcher has the following content:
#!/usr/bin/bash # # Run Thunderbird under Wayland # export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 exec /usr/bin/thunderbird "$@"
