Hi Christopher I am a fan for Ubuntu but my background is hardware development primarily in radio telecommunication systems but also other areas in electronic design. I am not a software developer and only use applications for mathematical analysis and simulation. I reported the crash due to the prompt to do so but these crashes are not catastrophic and Ubuntu just goes on :-) . However I would like to assist Ubuntu as best I can and should be able to test versions as virtual machines using Virtualbox. Unfortunately Virtualbox has become somewhat flaky these days especially when creating virtual machines - I use Mint Cinnamon with an earlier version of Virtualbox as this seems to work eventually. Virtualbox with Windows 10 for example is a massive failure and this marriage from hell results in an application that is actually impossible to even remove! However Virtualbox always works on Linux for running a VM but remains problematic when attempting to create them. However I'll persevere and report back if I make any progress.
