For me Ubuntu keep breaking my audio output after just about every kernel upgrade. Moved back to Antergos.

Any other DE but ubuntu's simply crashes and dumps me back to login. No idea why, and oddly I can't find much about it from others. It was merely impetus to evacuate ubuntu further, but like crack I can't seem to break free.

I'd be lucky to get an hour of batter life, mostly due to the stupid intel vs. nvidia vs. bumblebee issues on it. Stable network and function vs. heat - I'll take it. I was hoping moving to arch they might have fixed some of this stupidity ubuntu could obviously never figure out.

>> Why do I hate 18.04? Other than above gpu issues, I upgrade to find my right click on the touchpad not working, a distinct lack of a minimize button on my windows, and various things that simply didn't work out of box I needed to find workarounds for. Upgrading out of sheer morbid curiosity to 18.10 didn't fix anything, and in fact made most worse. I just hate ubuntu now, and would really like to never deal with it again.
