Python library to get PyGetWindow like functionality in linux.
X Server, Window Manager
The X Window System is a windowing system for bitmap displays, common on Unix-like operating systems. X provides the basic framework for a GUI environment: drawing and moving windows on the display device and interacting with a mouse and keyboard.
X is an application that manages one or more graphics displays and one or more input devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) connected to the computer.
It works as a server and can run on the local computer or on another computer on the network. Services can communicate with the X server to display graphical interfaces and receive input from the user.
It's worth noting, a common component used with an X server is the Window Manager, an application that manages the resizing and moving of windows and decorative elements of windows such as title bars, minimize, and close buttons.
Xlib
The Python X Library is intended to be a fully functional X client library for Python programs. It is written entirely in Python, in contrast to earlier X libraries for Python (the ancient X extension and the newer plxlib) which were interfaces to the C Xlib.
Screen, Display, Window
Display represents the connection between the client (end user) and server (X Server). Screen represents our desktop or laptop screen. Windows are application windows.
