From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

But people told me X is not being maintained anymore.
Actively developed is different from "maintained"
OpenOffice (OO) is being maintained and shouldn't be used
LibreOffice is being actively developed and should be used as a replacement to OO
Legacy softwares such as X11 and OO get updates to fix vulnerabilities
You prob said as irony, so used this opportunity to promote LibreOffice :)

I invite everyone to take a look at Open Office's commits over the past few years, it's hilarious
Its not very actively developed but maintained. Development is nearly exclusively for XWayland
That makes sense. X is done, and Wayland isn't.
Enough for me.
so no tits? :(
English is fine and all, but I refuse to use apostrophes
every ban appeal I've made in a nutshell
Part of this is possibly due to Xwayland too
Yeah, they lied. X being dead and full of security issues is just a FUD. Keep calm and carry on using X.
which is in fact the only productive choice one can do :) when distro will force switch, then we will see
Distros already force switch, it doesn't work as well.
I'm using debian sid and I've got no problem in using xorg until today so I'd say you are wrong :)
