# Mir - Wayland compositor

**Mir** is set of libraries for building Wayland based shells. Mir 

simplifies the complexity that shell authors need to deal with: it

provides a stable, well tested and performant platform with touch,

mouse and tablet input, multi-display capability and secure 

client-server communications.

Mir deals with the bringup and configuration of a broad array of

graphics and input hardware, abstracts hardware differences away

from shell authors (transparently dealing with hardware quirks) and

integrates with system components such as greeters.

Window management is integrated into Mir with useful default behaviour

and is extremely customisable by shell authors using a simple high-level

API.
