I've been using my Ubuntu MATE server without issue for more than a day since I re-jiggered my xrdp settings. What's going on? Am I jinxing myself by mentioning that everything is running smoothly and quickly?
It's fun being productive without having to stop and change something. 
What's wrong? I'm afraid that the Universe is ageing... All in all, 42.
That's a deep thought...
Very well said indeed... but on the bright side at least there are still fun things to learn and a book or two to read - reading is evergreen in my opinion 
"evergreen".... Well played
