Kragen, what's the current status of BubbleOS? Also, I'm curious what you think of Arcan (https://arcan-fe.com). - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

LOL. Not. Meanwhile, one dude managed to write an entire display server that handles, both, Wayland and X11 apps: https://arcan-fe.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

Wayfire - Wayland compositor with 3d effects.
