GSoC 2026 - Interest in GUI Agent for Windows Project

[CHIKI Badreddine]

Hi Qubes developers,

I'm interested in applying for GSoC 2026 with Qubes OS, specifically for the "GUI agent for Windows 8/10" project.

I'm a systems programming student at 1337 (42 Network) with C/C++ experience and interest in low-level graphics driver development. The WDDM display driver work aligns with my focus on graphics systems and hardware interfacing.

Questions about the project:

1. What's the current state of the WDDM driver implementation? What specific blockers remain?

2. Is the preference to pursue the display-only WDDM approach or continue work on the full WDDM driver?

3. What would be a good starting point to familiarize myself with the existing codebase before GSoC starts?

I can commit 40 hours per week during the summer period.

Thanks,
Chiki Badreddine
