Did the recent Ubuntu / Android update kill anyone else's computer?

[Mar]

I updated Ubuntu to 15.10 on both my laptop and desktop last night, it killed both of them, neither will boot. I also upgraded my OnePlus One phone this morning to the newest version of Android and now it just keeps power cycling, all 3 devices died, I'm guessing it has to do with a bug in the kernel since that's the only relation between the 3. Anyone else having issues?

Thats why I wait 6 months after, or until a LTS version of Ubuntu distro comes out.

Mar is not the type of gal to wait

I wait on my production servers but anything else I go right away. Everything is on cloud storage so I can just reinstall, which is likely what I'll be spending my weekend doing.

Truer words have not been spoken (in this thread)

Yep, just what every IT person wants to do on a weekend! Undoing something over a day or two that could have been avoided with common sense :dunno:

Not updating your computer isn't really common sense. Anything that spent 6 months in development and a month into code cut off and quality control shouldn't really fail. I have been upgrading on release day for 7 years without problems.

Linux or any of its distro's have zero to do with android. I can promise you with 100% certainty they have different kernels. The fact that they both failed is purely coincidental or is due to user error.
