Could you build this?

No Building a custom Wayland compositor/window manager requires deep systems programming in C or Rust with wlroots, Wayland protocols, low-level graphics subsystems, and seat management.

What it would actually take: Requires an idiomatic C/Rust implementation binding directly to wlroots and libwayland-server, handling input devices via libinput, rendering through OpenGL/Vulkan, and managing Wayland surface lifecycles and IPC protocols. AI vibe coding struggles heavily with low-level protocol event loops, asynchronous frame callbacks, and memory safety in C graphics pipelines.
