   Upgraded to Ubuntu Bionic (what will become 18.04 LTS) and it all went smoothly. Seems to be working fine. Congrats to everyone working on Ubuntu on what looks to be a really nice LTS.

      Of course anytime you do a distro upgrade you notice the package names running by getting upgraded. Then you inevitably think "Why do I have $pkg installed?" So you look. You say "Uhg" a few times. And you trust that the package manager is correct in how it handled everything.

      In upgrading I got moved to default to X11 instead of Wayland (widely known). It is kinda shocking me how much more solid GNOME Shell feels on X11 rather than Wayland.

      Guess now I get to choose between visual tearing of windows and consistent key repeat behavior.

      Seriously considering trying to get Unity8 running again.

         @ted Wayland is super troublesome on NVIDIA 10 series cards running the nouveau driver.

         Fedora ships with it on the installer, and it's unusable without setting a password and logging in with GNOME X11

         @ted Are you involved with the UBports efforts around Unity 8?
