How would that make any sense in that context?

The full title on close parsing doesn't make sense in xorg context. But "X kills its app" initially had my brain trying to figure out what people were running X on mac.

I used to when I had a Mac.

Haven’t done it in ages but I used to run xquartz on a macbook and do x window forwarding from my desktop. It worked surprisingly well, even on remote sessions via an ssh tunnel.

I don’t have much reason to do it nowadays because laptops are so much more powerful and storage is so cheap that the stuff I was doing can all be done locally.
