It allows the creation of an xterminal, a diskless workstation which runs only an X server (out of ROM) and leaves all user interface implementation to a central compute server. In this sense, X is much more versatile and allows more tailoring of the environment to whatever the user wants. This proves to be quite confusing for the new user of a X windowing environment because most other environments simply use one window manager and give the user no choice. Often, the window manager is just one component of Desktop Environments suite. The user interface for these functions is left up to its author. The window manager gives windows a border and allows you to move them around and maximize/minimize them. Regarding Wayland, the job is delegated to display server called a compositor or compositing window manager. Instead, this job is delegated to a program called a window manager. In the X Window System, the X Server itself does not give the user the capability of managing windows that have been opened.
