Aqueous

Aqueous is a minimal Wayland window manager built on top of River.

It is designed as a lightweight, configurable River-based environment with a separate shell/bar layer powered by the external Noctalia project.

  • Language: C# (primary), with small amounts of Shell and QML
  • Platform focus: Linux / Wayland

Aqueous provides a River-oriented window management stack with:

  • a core window manager client
  • an input daemon for libinput-backed device configuration
  • an output daemon for display/output control
  • test projects for validation
  • packaging and session-launch integration for Linux environments

The project also includes configuration, packaging, and session assets to support a full desktop login flow.
