What does he mean by X, x11 or xorg ?
Heh, i like that take more, I interpreted it as X as in a placeholder for any subject
How should he know? He's a new user after all.
Isn't that that thing that always broke and made me feel like Linux wasn't very good for personal computers. I remember playing a game that took me hours to get running just for my computer to lock the screen and soft lock the whole computer. The lock screen captured the input after the game already captured the inputs and neither one of them worked.
Also as a kid running a script to fix screen tearing from online that happens to break the whole desktop or the weird things happening when you plugged in a second monitor.
Don't ask me how xorg works I've tried. I say good riddance, the king is dead long live the king.
