No, I was referring to the fact that there was basically no alternative graphics system in the mainstream.<p>You could choose among different windows servers, desktop systems etc, but all of these would only run on top of X11&#x2F;Xorg. Compatibility with other implementations both at protocol and interface levels was barely even nominal. Whenever X11&#x2F;Xorg development stalled or hit problems etc, the entire desktop ecosystem was screwed, often for long periods.<p>Now we&#x27;re going to see this happen with basically <i>the entire userland</i>. If distributions keep pushing it, systemd is going to become &quot;X11 for userland&quot;, regardless of its actual quality.
