Roy,

that discussion was on Intel Mac when XQuartz was in beta and thus breaking. In the meantime there is now stable XQuartz 2.8.1 and you can use either version on Intel (we do build agains 2.7.1 for compatibility). But there is no XQuartz 2.7.x for M1 so you can only use the latest version there.

Cheers,
Simon
