I've had my fair share of X11 builds at different work places. The typical use case is when you have to work on some Linux dev box which does not have any (or a somewhat recent) X11 and the distribution is either too old to get one, or simply you're not root. In these cases, the simplest (though annoying) solution is to rebuild X11 and a wm from source on the box as user. Given OP mentioned he was doing his studies, I guess he was required to work on some old boxes and wanted a decent modern environment. |

Maybe I misremember, but didn't X11 require the SUID bit set before systemd-logind if you wanted to use a GPU?
(Of course, if you want to run remote X11 clients, then you don't need elevated privileges.)
