## What it is
A curated list of Wayland-related code, libraries, and resources covering compositors, tools, and applications. It serves as a discovery index for the Wayland ecosystem on Linux.

## Use cases
- find a wayland compositor to try
- discover wayland-native apps instead of x11
- find wayland clipboard managers or screenshot tools
- learn what libraries exist for building wayland clients
- find status bars and launchers for sway
- research wayland ecosystem before switching from xorg

## When to choose
- you want a broad index of wayland projects and tools
- you are migrating from X11 and need wayland-native alternatives
- you want community-curated starting points for wayland development

## When to avoid
- you need detailed tutorials or documentation rather than links
- you need a maintained software tool rather than a resource list
- you need X11-specific resources

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: operating-systems, desktop-applications, awesome-lists
- platform: -
- tags: awesome-list, wayland, compositor, window-manager, curated-list, linux
