- zamadatix 3y agoWas there ever a time someone who wanted to find out more about xorg x11 knew (without already knowing about it) to just type "x.org" instead of "x11.org" or "xorg.org" or "xorg.com" or "xserver.org" and so on, finding non-existent responses or alternative groups who call themselves x? Collision and needing to "divine" the domain seem inherent to having a name system. Both this and the need for a TLD-insensitive lookup were solved by making the address bar also the search bar so people can use search engines to find new things instead of DNS.
