[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu going back to Xorg

[Ron Singh]

Yeah, sure looks like I am over-thinking this and obsessing a bit much on
the kernel side. I guess I am just trying to replicate my experience with
XP and W7 being supported for so long. I think I better chill on this
kernel thing for a bit:-)

Thanks
​ ​
for the
​ ​
​voice of reason Khalid​​:-)​ I will calm down now, haha.
