Both X11 and Wayland are competing display server protocols in the Linux ecosystem.

X11 is the old version that is now slowly abandoned in favour of Wayland, but still there are things like Nvidia with their proprietary drivers that run better under X11.

Hence the word play.

There are no X11 fees, this is a joke about X=X11 and not X=Twitter
