Yes. I recently attempted to do the offered automatic upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 on a desktop and it got borked but good. Hung the system once, crashed several times, and it was such a colossal pain in the rear that I gave up on it and kept 10.10, which has been updated regularly and nary a problem. I did, however, successfully install Kubuntu 11.04 in a vm via Virtual Box on a Windows 7 machine and it runs fine. Other folks have bemoaned the Unity thing, of course, another can of worms. And just this afternoon I attempted to install Kubuntu 11.04 in a vm, again with Virtual Box, on an XP laptop, and it installed partway and then died.
My condolences and best wishes, sir.
