PackageKit provides a way of performing package management tasks, e.g. updating, removing and installing software. Through supporting many backends, PackageKit can perform these tasks using the appropriate package manager for the current system.

libsfdo is a collection of libraries which implement some of the freedesktop.org specifications.

MalContent implements parental controls support which can be used by applications to filter or limit the access of child accounts to inappropriate content.

libqrtr-glib is a glib-based library to use and manage the QRTR (Qualcomm IPC Router) bus.

Libinput is a library to handle input devices for display servers and other applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

AppStream is a cross-distribution effort for enhancing the way we interact with the software repositories provided by distributions by standardizing software component metadata. It provides the foundation to build software-center applications, by providing metadata necessary for an application-centric view on package repositories. It additionally provides specifications for things like an unified software metadata database, screenshot services and various other things needed to create user-friendly application-centers for distributions.

PyXDG is a collection of implementations of freedesktop.org standards in Python.

The udiskie program is a udisks2 front-end that manages removable media such as CDs or flash drives from userspace.

Its features include:

• automount removable media,

• notifications,

• tray icon,

• command line tools for manual (un)mounting,

• LUKS encrypted devices,

• unlocking with keyfiles,

• loop devices (mounting ISO archives),

• password caching.

This package provides wayland-info tool that can be used to check which Wayland protocols and versions are advertised by the Wayland compositor.

Libliftoff eases the use of KMS planes from userspace. Users create "virtual planes" called layers, set KMS properties on them, and libliftoff will pick hardware planes for these layers if possible.

libfprint is a library designed to make it easy for application developers to add support for consumer fingerprint readers to their software.

This package provides a Python wrapper around libevdev, taking advantage of libevdev's advanced event handling. Documentation is available at https://python-libevdev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. libevdev makes it easy to:

• read and parse events from an input device;

• create a virtual input device and make it send events;

• duplicate an existing device and modify the event stream.

For information about libevdev, see: https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libevdev/.

Wayland is a project to define a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a library implementation of the protocol. The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.

Wev is a tool that opens a window, printing all events sent to a Wayland window, such as key presses. It is analogous to the X11 tool XEv.

xdg-user-dirs is a tool to help manage "well known" user directories, such as the desktop folder or the music folder. It also handles localization (i.e. translation) of the file names. Designed to be automatically run when a user logs in, xdg-user-dirs can also be run manually by a user.

Wayland-Protocols contains Wayland protocols that add functionality not available in the Wayland core protocol. Such protocols either add completely new functionality, or extend the functionality of some other protocol either in Wayland core, or some other protocol in wayland-protocols.

Wtype lets you simulate keyboard input and mouse activity, move and resize windows, etc.

This package provides an xdg-desktop-portal backend for Hyprland.

File::Basedir can be used to find directories and files as specified by the Freedesktop.org Base Directory Specification. This specifications gives a mechanism to locate directories for configuration, application data and cache data.

libxdg-basedir is a C library providing some functions to use with the freedesktop.org XDG Base Directory specification.

The xdg-utils package is a set of simple scripts that provide basic desktop integration functions in the framework of the freedesktop.org project.

This library supports a subset of the ATA S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) functionality.

This package provides Wayland protocol extensions for Hyprland.

Gabble is a Jabber/XMPP connection manager for the Telepathy framework, currently supporting:

• single-user chats

• multi-user chats

• voice/video calling

• file transfer

with Jabber/XMPP interoperability.

Telepathy is a D-Bus framework for unifying real time communication, including instant messaging, voice calls and video calls. It abstracts differences between protocols to provide a unified interface for applications.
