My son, who built this machine for me, says he's going to ban me from updating anything in future cause it always goes wrong when I do it.
I should put it on github, since it's working well :D

Ubuntu is more unstable than Arch. Seriously, I've had more issues with Ubuntu than Arch. Not to mention, Ubuntu is a commercial distribution. I highly recommend you to move away from Ubuntu.

I would really do a fresh install and create a seperate home partition. That way you can do a clean install from a livecd without problems whenever you feel like it and you won't lose all your installed games, etc. It's what I've been doing for the last couple of years now because I got tired of experiencing the same issue as you and wanted to leave the door open for switching between different *buntu flavours.

I'm thinking of doing this eventually as well. Just way too lazy at the moment.

Debian Testing, Antergos or Manjaro are awesome distros for people past the Ubuntu phase :-)
Ubuntu does have frustrating issues at times though, and I am going to personally look at a rolling distribution again sometimes soon.

You know whats wrong with a commercially run distribution? They prioritize themselves over the community. As example, Mir. What they're trying to do is obvious! They want to force developers to use Mir instead of Wayland because Ubuntu has a bigger userbase. Then it will just grow because it's a requirement to use Ubuntu to use a lot of software. Also, Mir is proprietary. That is a massive issue.

Seems to me the code is quite open https://code.launchpad.net/mir Also if you think someone like Red Hat doesn't have their bottom line in mind when they support projects you would be very wrong, Also if you use Samba you might want to stop using it cause you know there is code from Microsoft in there as well. Why oh because it helps their bottom line when Samba plays nice with Microsoft's stuff. Any company that contributes to open source 99.9% of the time does so for their bottom line and nothing more. Do not think that they do it out of the goodness of their hearts in spite of the "this is for the community" pr spin they may try and put on it.
