Eh, it's not that simple... There's a windowing system on Linux, and an old punk band from LA, and a whole generation...

Running away from the X windowing system might not be that bad though ๐Ÿ˜‰

Unix Blasphemy!!

I do love X though (not the Twitter rebrand - Motif for life!!). A simple X program is/was so portable, but I guess not many people care anymore.

Not to mention the phrase, X marks the spot.
