Bringing LG webOS and Qt to millions of smartTVs
summary
LG ships millions of smartTVs running webOS with the system UI written mostly in pure QML system UI using Qt Quick 2 and WebKit, claiming native and web apps are first‑class citizens. A Qt Wayland based compositor manages app surfaces and multitasking cards, with minimal C++ glue for Wayland and LunaBus, custom QtQuick modules (EOS with a booster for faster startup), ShaderEffectItems for the parallelogram/wiper visuals, and reported good performance and low memory on production hardware.
