What Wayfire‑Pi Does
Wayfire‑Pi upgrades Raspberry Pi OS Trixie with a full Wayland compositor, giving you modern visual effects, smooth animations, and a polished desktop experience — all wrapped in a safe, reversible installer.
It replaces the default labwc session with Wayfire, adds curated plugins, and applies a clean, modern theme. Everything is optional, tiered, and undoable.
🖥️ Three Visual Presets
Each preset is tuned for Pi hardware and GPU limits:
Minimal — Light polish, translucent panels, updated GTK theme
Average — Blur, shadows, animations, alpha effects
Ludicrous — Wobbly windows, cube workspace, fisheye, heavy blur
Pick your vibe. Switch anytime.
🛡️ Safe by Design
Wayfire‑Pi creates a full snapshot of your existing desktop configuration before making any changes.
If anything breaks or you simply change your mind:
Restore your original setup
Remove Wayfire
Revert all modified files
No risk, no lock‑in.
🔍 Hardware Detection
The installer automatically detects your Pi model and RAM, then recommends the best preset.
Works on:
Raspberry Pi 4
Raspberry Pi 5
2GB, 4GB, and 8GB variants
Older boards are not supported due to GPU limitations.
🎛️ Custom Looks
You can save your own Wayfire configurations as named “looks” and switch between them instantly.
Perfect for experimenting with different themes or effect combinations.
🧩 Extra Plugins
One Wayfire plugin isn’t available in the Pi OS repos, so Wayfire‑Pi compiles it automatically.
No manual setup required.
📦 Install & Revert
Everything is done through a simple whiptail menu — works locally or over SSH.
Choose a preset, apply it, and enjoy.
Revert at any time.
