Unfortunately the X Consortium is responsible for all of that, and all they have managed to do was upgrade X to be compatible with modern hardware. No code cleanups, bug bounties, optimizations, etc. Someone needs to light a fire under their asses and of course back it up with programmers and funding. The time is ripe, as the Wayland group can't stop infighting and arguing over features that have been a standard part of GUIs since the 1990s - FFS how long can someone argue AGAINST having multi-window apps? Don't even get me started on the autism of GNOME and their hateboner against server-side decorations.
but gnome is antifa and antifa are gay for self decoration like nobody's business. As for multiwindow apps then they must hate gimp when it's not in single window mode.
