Fact is the people who developed X thought through multi user graphical computing.

That process has not really happened since.

It needs to, or we just won't see desktop Linux compete.



2% after 30 years in the making, and hatred for the GNOME and KDE communities, always pushing for PDP-11 experience with multiple xterms like I was doing in 1994 on IBM X Window terminals on the university campus with DG/UX, I already gave up around Windows 7 release.


I used X on SGI and have yet to have as robust an experience on any of the OSes.

When the thinking it through gets done, the result is powerful.
