   Thanks. Been using LM since 2005? (post Win XP & Win8.? (laptop) )   
   so I've been through several iterations of inplace upgrades and   
   new installs from iso. New hardware every few years and moving   
   user files/data onto the new hardware, including from the win boxes.   
   ( Email from win to linux was the hard part for a newbie )   
   I should be OK with this.   
      
   Q. Are systemd and wayland implemented on LM22 ?   
      
   I've heard rumors that wayland is underwhelming.   
   I could delay upgrading while LM 21 is still maintained for   
   a while and hope that wayland gets some attention.   
   Any thoughts on this??
