uwsm is a Universal Wayland Session Manager that uses systemd units and helpers to set up the environment and manage standalone Wayland compositor sessions. It provides robust session lifecycle management, XDG autostart, and clean shutdown without requiring extra background daemons.

Use cases

  • manage standalone wayland compositor sessions with systemd
  • launch wayland compositors like hyprland or sway with proper systemd integration
  • set up xdg autostart for wayland sessions
  • cleanly shut down graphical session apps via systemd slices
  • manage dbus and systemd activation environment for wayland
  • start wayland session from a display-manager-like menu

When to choose

  • you run a standalone Wayland compositor and want systemd-based session management
  • you want XDG autostart and clean app termination on session exit
  • you want to avoid extra session daemons and rely on systemd units

When to avoid

  • you use a full desktop environment that already manages its own session
  • your system does not use systemd
  • you need an X11 session manager
