A comment on Red Hat Expecting X.org to “Go into Hard Maintenance Mode Fairly Quickly”. Parent comment
I was arguing that only NeXT and SGI had a graphics workstation culture, where having UNIX underneath was more of a detail than anything else.
No one cared that much of writing POSIX daemon and CLI tooling, the whole point was making the best use of the GUI frameworks, IDEs and their GPUs.
Even when SGI offered IrisGL as the basis for OpenGL, they kept the best parts for them.
