X-rays reveal a hot and violent Universe. From the hot intracluster medium in clusters and groups of galaxies to gas swirling round black holes, X-rays provide vital information. High spatial resolution imaging and high spectral resolution spectroscopy reveal the role of black holes in the evolution of galaxies. I shall give a personal perspective on the development of our understanding over the past decades and include some recent results.
