How to run weston-launch by default

How to run weston-launch by default instead of Unity on Ubuntu 16.04?

I want to run my application at startup (like in ~/.config/upstart/*.conf) in wayland environment. Is it feasible at the moment?

I need a most minimalistic window manager possible. I don't need gestures and other high-level features, just one full-screen window plus possibility to run weston-terminal to perform debug/tweaking actions.

you may have to disable lightdm or gdm, then with logind alone weston would start it from tty

weston does not have an autostart feature although you may find an outdated patch online

you could add [launcher]s to the panel for your applications though

anything else would be started from your terminal emulator

weston.ini man page
