While some sources mention this in passing, I can't find any in-depth coverage of this outside a few technical manuals/documentation already linked in the article. I don't think this has stand-alone notability, through perhaps it can be just soft deleted by redirecting to X Window System, particularly if anyone can figure out a section this could be merged to?

  • Speedy keep: Regular nom. who still has this in progress Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kst (software) makes an arguably WP:POINTY nom. with let's take this to AfD and seeming fails to follow WP:BEFORE which says if you have concerns raise on the talk page first and don't waffle about how redirects have been considered in one's mind and not discussed on the talk page or at project line if the issue is more widespread. I can't actually be totally certain about what this is about however while with current linux and unix distributions keyboard input seems to run seamlessly out of the box I have distant memories of much tinkering and swearing with xmodmap utility and friends to get my British keyboard to work sweetly and stay working sweetly with X (let alone the graphics card). The is a template Too technical for most users to understand (can't remember it's name) and that would be a good start. This is probably a bit geeky.Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:05, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Can you provide a valid argument? There's no rule saying one cannot start multiple AFDs, or that only one software-related topic can be subject to deletion. And WP:BEFORE doesn't require talk discussion, it only suggests it, and for such obscure topics the chance of someone replying on talk are abysmally low. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:13, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
