[TriLUG] I "discovered" a bug!

[shay walters via TriLUG]

    I've been using Ubuntu for 12 years and I've had more problems with
18.04 than (it seems) all previous releases put together.  I run LXDE
(LUbuntu) and I had to replace PCMANFM with Caja because pcmanfm kept
crashing very frequently (many times a day),  I'm still having problems
with video-heavy apps crashing the system (usually Netflix or Prime in
Chrome, but sometimes VLC as well.  The crashes more often than not are
crashing the entire system, not just the application.
    I sure hope they get their act together.  I wouldn't have been using
Ubuntu for 12 years if previous releases had been like this.
