Development Status

Development Status

PlexyDesk is an active engineering project. It already contains a working compositor shell, rendering pipeline, widget toolkit, and supporting examples, but it should still be treated as a development platform rather than a finished consumer desktop.

Working areas

  • compositor runtime and shell rendering
  • dock and menubar
  • widget toolkit and retained layout API
  • example applications and experiments
  • packaging and systemd helpers
  • bridge and compatibility work around Wayland and X11

Areas that still read as active work

  • broader application compatibility
  • input and clipboard edge cases
  • bridge robustness and performance tuning
  • memory, damage tracking, and async rendering refinement

Suggested workflow for contributors

  1. Read Getting Started
  2. Build a debug tree
  3. Run and inspect the smallest examples
  4. Read Architecture and Developer Guide
  5. Use the task documents to understand current priorities before making larger changes
