Ubuntu 14.04.01
According to official documentation, upgrading the hardware enablement stack in Ubuntu to utopic-lts upgrades the kernel and xorg. I only want to upgrade xorg to correct a display problem. The problem is the utopic-lts stack is only supported for 9 months after which I would have to upgrade the HWE stack again.
The question is: is it safe from a security standpoint on a conventional desktop system, to roll back the kernel to the 3.13 series with security updates until 2019 and hold xorg at the utopic-lts for that same duration ie without upgrading the HWE stack every 6-9 months?
