Does that sentiment include Xwayland, Xlib, and the X protocol? What’s the alternative to X, the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol?

Coming out is not a valid use case, and must be implemented by each individual compositor with incompatible protocol extensions.

This confusion is exactly why Elon needs to protect his new trademark!
