  It is not. This was just a new wave of people finally looking under the hood. (Where they would have found many many dusty but detailed man pages and docs waiting for them)

  You can write one in X11 if you like, if you make people install Xquartz.

      brew install --cask xquartz Or install from the project homepage [1]. Then just launch the X11 app. Note that it does require the application to be built for Mac - it’s not an emulator, just an implementation of the X11 APIs. [1] https://www.xquartz.org/ https://www.xquartz.org/
