I know I could duckduckgo it, but I think we’re at the stage at lemmy where there’s space to ask basic questions.

What is it? Why does it matter? Users at which lunix proficiency level should care about it? Is it just yet another competing standard or is x actually going to die?

    X is not going to die, X is already dead.

      I started learning Linux in 2009/2010 and remember doing hacky weird things in X to get my displays working properly and hearing about how Wayland was going to replace it and make that all easier. I had no idea it was such an ordeal and would still be in a transition at this point.
