What is x11 and why did Ooo require the use of it? It was just a pain to use imo.

X11, if I can recall is a patented "Xwindows" environment. a "FREE version" is call "XFree386".
it is like "windows 3.1" in DOS days. actually windows-line of product steal( err, copy) a lot of stuffs from Xwindows!!!
X11 sits on top of an UNIX operating systems, providing a common "GUI" or "windows-like" interface for Applications like word processors, spreadsheet, editors, games and such....
as we all know OSX is an UNIX variance, so it can/will use X11.
