Why is the X server process not a daemon?

0 root 717 2.0 3.2 1038344 263604 tty7 Rsl+ /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch Is it correct that the X server process is running the program named Xorg ? (So I can be assured that I have found the X server process.) It is a server, so why does it still have a controlling terminal (tty7)? Why can't it give up a controlling terminal and become a daemon? Thanks. x11 daemon share | improve this question asked Dec 19 '18 at 18:01 Tim 26k 74 246 455
