Waycheck for Linux

Show Wayland compositor details

Overview

Waycheck is a utility app designed for Linux users who want to learn more about their Wayland compositor.

It provides a clear and easy-to-understand graphical interface that shows which Wayland protocols are supported by your compositor and which ones are not.

This makes it helpful for people working with Wayland, especially those involved in system management or development.

The main feature of Waycheck is its focused ability to display detailed information about Wayland protocols.

You can quickly see all the protocols your compositor supports and get a complete view by also seeing unsupported ones.

This helps users gain a full understanding of what their system supports without needing to use complicated commands or tools.

Waycheck is not a tool for managing or changing protocols.

It only shows information without offering customization or advanced options.

It also does not provide compatibility details with other software outside of Wayland compositors.

This makes it a simple but reliable tool for anyone who needs to check protocol details on Linux systems running Wayland.

Because it is built specifically for Wayland compositors on Linux, Waycheck fits best for users who want a minimal interface focused just on protocol information.

It is useful for developers and system users looking for a safe and easy way to verify what protocols their compositor supports.

Overall, Waycheck offers a straightforward approach to viewing Wayland protocol support without extra features that could complicate its use.
