[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu going back to Xorg

[doug moen]

I don't think that Wayland is going away. It's going to replace X11, due to
its technical merits, it just needs a longer incubation period. You can
still use Wayland in 18.04, it's part of the base installation, but you
have to enable it explicitly.
