But – there’s always a “but” – before you get too excited, there’s a catch.

Both Frame and yserver were built using LLM bots.

I mean, yeah. Even X11's own maintainers are sick of that mountain of spaghetti and are just keeping it on life support. Anything trying to replace X11 (besides XWayland) is effectively a throwaway project and shouldn't be seriously used.
