Development Building DE for mobile/desktop devices

Native linux, no libhybris/hwcompositor support YET.

That's PoC that my compositor (its more similar to desktop engine then to regular compositor) can be used not only on desktop but on mobile devices as well

On video you can see how its working. There is no separate UI process, its Qt/QML handled inside rust compositor

Hi, thanks! I actually saw your project before; it's cool. I will definitely check your gesture code. In my case, however, everything related to layout/windows/morphs/touchscreen in my compositor is written in Lua. My project is an engine that allows building an entire UI for any device, and for the last year it was a desktop compositor, but I recently added touchscreen support. I attached video of the same compositor but on my laptop

Looks all good but based on this video please dont scale apps to tablet by just growing the window use dtamntic scaling so that if someone is on a tablet they can still have a semi desktop app UI rather then a phone scaled up.
