I installed this release to test it because I rely on Ubuntu for my own distribution, PC/OS. There are still a few problems that plaqued the pre-releases that still plaque the new release. For 1, I still experience the constant crashing on my laptop with an Nvidia integrated GPU. Ndiswrapper will bring down the entire system causing it to freeze and I have to induce a hard reboot. if I extract an archive the folder disappears and I have to extract again and then I have two folders in Nautilus or Thunar. I guess I will have to wait until they fix it, or try to track down and fix the problems myself.
I tried the ndiswrapper problem on several machines to make sure that It wasnt hardware or system related and I was able to reproduce on 3 different systems using different devices.
