Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Weston is a Wayland compositor designed for correctness, reliability, predictability, and performance. Out of the box, Weston provides a very basic desktop, or a full-featured environment for non-desktop uses such as automotive, embedded, in-flight, industrial, kiosks, set-top boxes and TVs.
