x11 dying is not a cause. is there something wrong that truly would require something like this to be done? i feel theres no reason for this to be done unless theres somethng wrong

this is too opinionated to merge without actual justification behind making this change. "x11 is dying yada yada" is not sufficient technical reasoning for us to change anything. please amend your PR to explain why your solution is better and how it doesn't break support with existing use
