What kind of environment setup would make things faster? I suppose the choice of OS/distribution makes most difference in how easy it is to get all the dependencies of weston. For working with Weston there are a few ways. If you work on a shell or the core, you can run weston nested: it works on both X11 and Wayland display servers. If you work on a specific backend, you obviously need to use that backend. For working on direct-to-hardware backends like DRM it will help a lot to have a second computer, since failures can leave your local console unresponsive or broken. If you want to work on weston-launch, then you'd need a system that does not use logind, since the whole point of weston-launch is to offer a fallback for systems not using logind. Thanks, pq
