Channel Version Published

A minimal Mir based confined shell for testing support for such things

The current iteration is based on Miriway, swaybg and wofi.

To activate the wofi launcher press Meta+a. This will show snaps publishing a .desktop file, but only Wayland based snaps will run successfully.

To exit the shell press Ctrl-Alt-BkSp (long press if apps are running)

For the greeter (e.g. GDM) to recognise the confined-shell session run:

 /snap/confined-shell/current/bin/setup.sh
