Wayfire 0.10 Wayland Compositor Brings Experimental Vulkan Rendering

Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 30 August 2025 at 10:45 AM EDT. 21 Comments
Wayfire 0.10 was released this week and its integration with the underlying wlroots rendering code has been overhauled. In turn this opens up Wayfire to having experimental support for rendering using the Vulkan API.

Wayfire delivers on experimental support for rendering using the Vulkan API. Additionally, the wlroots' Pixman rendering code path can also be used as another alternative to the OpenGL / GLES back-end. The rendering updates for wlroots also now supports color management and per-output color profiles.
