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

Useful engineering notes in the repository

The tasks/ directory contains implementation notes and change summaries including:

• ASYNC_RENDERING_COMPLETE.md
• DAMAGE_TRACKING_IMPLEMENTATION.md
• IMPLEMENTATION_COMPLETE.md
• VRAM_LEAK_ANALYSIS.md
• VRAM_LEAK_FIXES_APPLIED.md
• X11_FLUSH_FIX_SUMMARY.md
• WORLD_CLASS_OPTIMIZATION_STRATEGY.md

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
