# Panes Wayland Compositor
@ -6,7 +5,7 @@
The repo for the Panes compositor, a key component of RetrofitOS. Note that Sills apps cannot work in other Wayland environments due to CS experiments being run on this compositor.
## 5/3/25
I'm going to be logging in the READMEs for now. I'll tell you the workflow: I'm using ChatGPT Plus in Zed to help me understand basic C and Wayland theory. Function tables and structs seem to be the way to get things done. Some may not like it, but this is the furthest I've gotten in quite awhile to something I 've been wanting to do for awhile.

### Design Goals
This is more of a UI design project, but due to the narrowing knowledge gap in compositor building, I'm able to make something real-world. Sills apps will not be usable outside of Panes due to Panes-specific hooks baked into the compositor. It's Wayland, but so far most Wayland compositors have been cookie-cutter clones of each other. See the hostility between GNOME and COSMIC, which look very similar despite how different they are under the hood.
