Воссоздание пользовательской оболочки Unity с использованием Wayfire и Libadwaita
Разработчик M A Muqtadir, принимающий участие в работе над темой оформления Ubuntu Yaru и дистрибутивом Vanilla OS, представил первые результаты эксперимента по воссозданию пользовательской оболочки Unity c использованием готовых компонентов стека GNOME и протокола Wayland. Продемонстрированный прототип построен на базе композитного менеджера Wayfire, использующего Wayland и позволяющего формировать нетребовательные к ресурсам интерфейсы пользователя c 3D-эффектами в стиле 3D-плагинов к Compiz. Боковая и верхняя панели, всплывающие диалоги и интерфейс Dash для навигации по установленным приложениям реализованы при помощи надстройки gtk4-layer-shell и виджетов, предоставляемых библиотекой libadwaita.
