X Window System
The X window system (commonly X Window System or X11, based on its current major version being 11) is a computer software system and network protocol that provides a basis for GUIIndex graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and rich input device capability for networked computers. It sits between the Operating System and the WindowManagers Window Manger.
X is primarily a protocol and graphics primitives definition and it deliberately contains no specification for application user interface design, such as button, menu, or window title bar styles.
The XOrg X.org is a common implementation.
