Can Labwc manage virtual desktops?

3 Likes

I don’t know. I am just using it to see how it compares to xfce-wayland with labwc.
If you search online it says you can. There are some tuts online for labwc virtual desktop config.

Can you point me to information about how to enable virtual desktops using labwc independently of any specific desktop environment? I do not use desktop environments, just window managers.

Sometthing very simple. Tumbleweed + Plasma.
Breeze noir as theme and colour. A simple widget to get wheather from Meteoclimatic web page.

You can just search the web like so:

labwc virtual desktop configuration headless

:wink:
and you will find something like this:
Headless - ArchWiki
Enabling a Virtual Output for VNC and HDMI output under Wayland/labwc/wayvnc - Raspberry Pi Forums
The second link you can read the thread and follow the posters link in that thread.
The rest you can search deeper on the subject.

Thanks for your effort, but I do not see how these two links address my question. I need virtual desktops (in the sense of “switchable desktop pages”) like those accessible in Fvwm2, not headless server or virtual output.

Which leads me to the question: are there any wayland compositors (stacking, not tiling) capable of managing virtual desktops in the sense of “switchable desktop pages”?
