I'm a newbie, and I speak as a newbie.
In GNU/Linux, everything evolves (read: forks), nothing disappears:

I predict a long life for x11, or whatever it'll be called in the future.
I started with Ubuntu, now I'm using Mint, who knows tomorrow...
If I'm alive, I'll use something useful.

Have you tried GambOS?
You can ask gbWilly if it works on your laptop...

Long live GNU/Linux and the freedom to use whatever you want without 
restrictions.
