17.10 was the absolute most buggy software that I have installed from Canonical. I tried it on Dell hardware (+ Apple Hardware, + A VMware VM on X64 + VirtualBox on OSX, etc) that does just fine with Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, and it was constantly prompting me to send error reports, killing processes, etc. I just flipped from using the "latest" vs the LTS versions at home because of this version, specifically.

Not the worst Ubuntu version, but I had a lot of issues with the default protocol being Wayland [1].

This broke a few programs I use, [2] mainly the screenshot application "Shutter". Most users don't realise it became the default, so their apps just stopped working... bad decision in my opinion.
