Wayland is a communication protocol that specifies the communication between a display server and its clients, as well as a C library implementation of that protocol. [9] A display server using the Wayland protocol is called a Wayland compositor, because it additionally performs the task of a compositing window manager.

LXDE (abbreviation for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) is a free desktop environment with comparatively low resource requirements. This makes it especially suitable for use on older or resource-constrained personal computers [ 2 ] such as netbooks or system on a chip computers.
X.Org Server is the free and open-source implementation of the X Window System (X11) display server stewarded by the X.Org Foundation. Implementations of the client-side X Window System protocol exist in the form of X11 libraries, which serve as helpful APIs for communicating with the X server. [4] Two such major X libraries exist for X11.
GDK (GIMP Drawing Kit) is a library that acts as a wrapper around the low-level functions provided by the underlying windowing and graphics systems. GDK lies between the display server and the GTK library, handling basic rendering such as drawing primitives, raster graphics (bitmaps), cursors, fonts, as well as window events and drag-and-drop functionality.
Compiz (/ k ɒ m p ɪ z /) is a compositing window manager for the X Window System, using 3D graphics hardware to create fast compositing desktop effects for window management. . Effects, such as a minimization animation or a cube workspace, are implemented as loadable p
