As opposed to the Unix way where a networked display server is used? Exposing something that doesn't need to be exposed over a network is oh so secure right? It must be because Linux does it and everyone knows Linux is the end all and be all of operating systems...
But seriously a lot of the design decisions Linux and other Unix like systems makes are horrible and poorly bolted on to a design from the 70s that aged very poorly. One of my goals with this project is to highlight that by showing how system with a more modern design derived from the metric ton of OS research that has been done since the 70s can be far better and show just how poorly designed and put together the million and one Unix clones actually are no matter how much lipstick Unix diehards try to put on that pig.
