As of this post, it's only been out a little while, I think. Remember that when reading this post. So far, so good though... Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus) seems to run pretty impressive in terms of performance and stability. It even has (LTS) Long Term Support. Installing off a USB thumb drive is so convenient for PCs with the option to boot off the USB on startup. With this point release, Ubuntu 16.04.1, they must've gotten it into pretty decent shape, I'd guess.

Made me smile...
