Why is X.org not suing bird site X.com?

You absolutely can, but trademarks need to be domain-specific. And the social media platform and the window system don't have much overlap in their respective domains.

Another window system couldn't come along and call itself "X", but a microwave manufacturer very well might be able to.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
