Xfce on Wayland, built with BuildStream for TunaOS.

Brussels is an independent TunaOS bootc image with Xfce on Wayland. It shares a freedesktop-sdk base with Tromsø but has its own BuildStream project and build pipeline. The repository and registry retain the xfce-linux identifier.

bootc OCI image

The project publishes a bootc OCI image at ghcr.io/tuna-os/xfce-linux.
