It would be really great if this page would explain if X Windows system allows for a X application to show up on the Mac desktop just like any other "native" application. Or, is this a septate desktop? What I am getting at is, how does this work from the users perspective? Dfeig 18:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
where do you download x11 for mac os x 10.4.4? they say it's on the CD, but I don't have that cd anymore.. nowhere to download it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conchis ( talk • contribs) 22:53, 17 December 2005
Certain applications require X11.app (or other X Window compatibility) to run on Mac OS X. Some examples include:
Are there other notable examples? Should a list like this be included in the article? — 204.42.24.75 04:39, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
I took out Category:Compatibility layers - it isn't anything of the sort, it's just an X server with some funky hooks into MacOS X - David Gerard 13:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
The general trend for other distros is to move away from XFree86 towards X.org, mostly because that is where all the active extension development is occurring. What are Apple's future plans for X11.app? -- IanOsgood 03:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
XQuartz/etc, has had its own mailing list for several years, and is, for example, no more "led" by X.Org than Cygwin or the various Linux- and BSD-ports. TEDickey ( talk) 23:36, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
I disagree with the articles current title. Putting .app at the end of the application's title usually leads to a redirect to application name (application) or application name (software) (for example Safari.app or Address Book.app), therefore I say the article should be moved to X11 (application) or X11 (software).
If no one has any objections I'll make the move myself on 20 October, 2008. stevenrasnick 10:02 (UTC) 19 October, 2008
The result of the proposal was moved. -- BDD ( talk) 19:41, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
X11.app → XQuartz – X11.app no longer exists in recent versions of OS X, the project name was changed to XQuartz. Eladts ( talk) 16:18, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on XQuartz. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

"XQuartz is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System that runs on OS X" While it is true Apple provides the old X11 code technically Xquartz has grown past that and can be considered its own thing-- 174.99.238.22 ( talk) 17:10, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
A recent edit asserts that no 64-bit executable is available for XQuartz. However, the file program says something different:
$ pwd /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS $ file X11.bin X11.bin: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [i386:Mach-O executable i386] [x86_64] X11.bin (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 X11.bin (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
As usual, a reliable source would be needed to support that edit TEDickey ( talk) 13:03, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
