MATE is probably the last X11-only holdout among the major desktop environments, but that’s about to change if Kerem Söke has anything to say about it.
Polo is a port of Marco’s behavior and window management policies to Wayland, built on libweston and written in Vala and C. It’s a window manager, compositor, and session authority for the MATE Wayland desktop. It takes over, step by step, what Marco, mate-session-manager and the compositor-facing parts of mate-settings-daemon do on X11.
↫ Polo’s GitHub page
Söke is looking for testers with this very first Polo 1.0.0 release – cute name, too – which is available on its GitHub page.
