Is X-Window still a thing?

Yes and no. It was and often still is the centerpiece of Linux breakthrough on the desktop, definitely happening next year… for decades. ;-)

Some people came up with the idea that the XServer is too bloated, thus too slow and this might be the main cause for the yet to happen breakthrough. Also, only few people use the integrated network capabilities.
