Wow, I’m weirdly close to the same age as the X Windows System

    Ooof. And it’s still used by a wide majority…

      It’s not a bad thing to be old. It’s tested, and works well. Is it the most effective? No. But that doesn’t mean that it still isn’t a fantastic windowing system.

      In fact, while the original X was created 38 years ago, X.org, the most commonly used windowing system on modern desktop Linux, was released 18 years ago.

        Emacs is a nice example of old but gold

        Except when it doesn’t.
