I think the Linux community has decided to abandon the X Window System
entirely. It's dead on every platform. So, yes, you are doomed.
Command-line stuff is just done directly with ssh (not involving xterm).
Remote access to graphical applications is all done by screen copying
(blitting) using clever algorithms and the essentially infinite
bandwidth that's universally available. Like VNC only better. The days
of transmitting drawing commands to a remote window server are over.
That was a good solution four decades ago, when the long-haul backbone
networks were operating at 56 Kb/s. Today, things are thousands of times
faster. Better to just efficiently transmit the picture, especially if
you can take advantage of lower-level GPU functionality.
All hail Wayland.
X11 is obsolete.
Please update your programs.
