I'm just amazed X is still a thing. It's the definition of niche. I can't even imagine putting dev ours into it. It should seriously just be dropped and abandoned. X is one of the most detrimental pieces of technology holding desktop Linux (or *nix) back.

I still wish Ubuntu went with Mir over Wayland (which is also trash).
