+Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor
+library.
+
+When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and
+libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol
+as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality
+related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
+
+When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing
+manager. It contains functionality related to, among other things,
+window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace
+management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
+
+Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction
+library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of
+Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
+
+Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user
+interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be
+run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain
+mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
