> Is it possible to replace the X from 11.1 with the X from 11.0?

Is the reason you ask because you were happy with the way 11.0 worked, but
not with the way 11.1 works? Do you use one of the video chips that has had
problematic drivers lately, such as Intel? If yes to both, just reinstall
11.0, and if there's something important and newer in 11.1, try to get just
that from build service or compile it yourself.

I recently built a new server for myself. I put it into service over a month
after 11.1 was released. It uses 11.0. I have many systems and many operating
system installations still working. Largely I have them to test new releases
while in alpha and beta, and this goes back to before Novell made openSUSE
out of SuSE. This provides insight on whether to skip using a release for
production purposes. That insight lead me to skip 9.x, 10.1, 10.3 & 11.1 so
far. Understand though that what works best for me isn't necessarily the same
for everyone else.

In the future, don't replace your old OS. Instead, add it. / only needs a
small fraction of the space available on modern HDs, so you can have more
than one and still have plenty space for data. That way, if the latest blows,
you just don't use it, but stick with the old until the next release provides
another chance for better.
