Public bug reported: I recently installed ubuntu 16.04 LTS release when I did an upgrade to whingedoze 10 (to get the product key then clean install, to set up a dual boot with a linux distro).
It works reasonably, but crashes often after being left to go into sleep mode. I tried changing the sleep/hibernate options to avoid letting it go to sleep, and that decreased the frequency with which I hit crashes under those circumstances, but has highlighted that it still crashes at other unexpected times. I have noticed it crash when running browser games and also when playing audio and when trying to install apps, but it is intermittent. I go back to the same set of apps and they operate OK and I cant reproduce the problem. When the machine locks I do a hard shutdown by holding down the power key, and then when ubuntu starts up again usually there are bug report dialogue boxes which pop up. I also get those dialgue boxes sometimes even after having just done normal shutdowns. I have clicked send report on almost all of them, and it has prompted me for the root password and seems to have sent bug reports. I want to contribute to find the problems and make the release better, but the crashes are happening so frequently it makes me wonder whether the release is just too unstable to use, or just not compatible with this hardware. Windows 10 has never crashed on this machine. Its a family machine, so my wife often uses the windows 10 install, and she hasnt had any problems with it.
