@nblr Cool.

On the other hand, nowadays I've to explicitly look under the hood in order to know which window system is running. For at least the last ten years I just emerged the WM/DE of choice and it pulled a window system (most likely X.org, perhaps Wayland on my new gaming rig). Without conf editing.

So, to me, X came a long way and matured fast in the last 20 years. Happy birthday!
