Xlib Functions

XMarks(3): PDF annotations, but for X11 windows! (*requires a compositor running WebGL 2.0 or worse.) (*no way to save annotations) (*this may or may not be a student project that was merged in an unfinished state)

X2Go2Go: For when you need to access an X11 desktop only reachable by creating a X11 tunnel inside an SSH tunnel inside a VPN, but your connection isn't fast enough to do it uncompressed.

Despite the notable lack of tweets from this account, X11 is still around. But maybe you already knew that, because it doesn't like to be forgotten and tends to crash when it is.

windows: you can't make a desktop environment that breaks every other Thursday and expect people to use it linux: Hold my beer

windows: stable. mostly reliable. everything runs on it. linux: Look! We put your entire desktop on a spinning 3D cube! Isn't that neat!

You might call it the "clipboard", but X11 calls it the "paste buffer" of the "Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual".

X11 is like depression: it continually interferes with your life, but there's no good way of getting rid of it without lots of side effects.

XBadPuns: You passed too many bad puns as arguments to this function. Try removing a few and calling the function again.

XLoseContext(3): Like XFindContext(3), but covertly hides the context in a way not even Valgrind can track.

XMen(1): Like XMan(3), but displays multiple manual pages at once. (What, did you expect a bad Marvel joke?)

XY2K(3): Patch the currently running program to use the Y2K-safe Xlib functions. (Can't be removed; too many apps still using this.)

We should've kept going until X42 - then we would know the meaning of life is to eternally stare at Xorg.log contemplating our existence

Humanity is extinct. One lonely machine in China is all that is left. Xorg is still running properly, waiting for keyboard input

BuzzFeed Tech, 204X: "Xorg Isn't Dead Yet. Here Are 10 Reasons Why."

xorg mailing list, 203X: "Has anyone gotten Xorg to work on quantum computers yet?"

xorg-announce, 203X: "Oracle announces plans to purchase http://X.Org  Foundation"

xorg-announce, 202X: "X11 is transitioning to a full PaaS architecture. Tentative pricing is $.00004/minute/pixel + $1 per window handle"

XExam: Tool that replaces the login screen with a test about X11 internals, and locks you out if you don't get an A+.

Dependencies for building X11: ... perl, llvm, libgcrypt, libcrypto. (No, really: http://www.x.org/wiki/Building_the_X_Window_System/#index4h3 …)
