The X.org one is only technically RCE in practice as you need an authenticated connection to the X server. It is really more of a local privilege escalation for the case where the X server is running as root.

Really?

I've never used Windows 10 and it's been years since I had a Windows machine on my desk but is it really that difficult to imagine and/or understand why ~90% of the world's PCs run Windows?
