I've justI deleted this. If it had shown even a modicum of logic, it might have been salvageable. ButThe OP requested it doesn'tbut that's where I was going anyway. It's simply:
Does random event cause negative effect?
At best it looks ridiculous (whichThe question is nonsense. No hypothesis, no suggestion, no correlation, not even a citation of what they'd actually heard, and as Kaz says, no hint this has anything to do with Ubuntu. I double checked at the authortime and nobody else on the Internet was going for)asking if eclipses could cause computer crashes. At worst, it suggests —to more feeble minds— that Ubuntu may be actually be affected by an eclipseThat puts this in a special class of baseless thought.
If you tell whyDon't get side-tracked by the second isother stuff I womble onto because that alone is more than enough for downvotes and deletion. It was a bad thingquestion.
On a wider outlook, we need to chat about the childrenincreasingly large portion of my mind that would be alive had the exis a grumpy-Dr Andrew Wakefield not falsified data to supportold-man doesn't see anything salvageable. It's somebody starting or furthering a since repeatedly disproven claim that vaccines give you autismhoax. In my experience, for every baseless scare, there's a pocket of superstitious folks who adopt it into their belief system and it gets applied and reapplied to similar situations in the future.

But "No" alone isn't enough for a good answer here. It's not a strong arguing position because there's nothing to counter.
A qualified physicist will undoubtedly drop in to play Devil's advocate and explain that in a universe of infinite possibility, yes, of course it's possible that the drop in radiation could interfere with the way Linux's implementation of ASLR.
Now we've got a ball game. The question is Hot on the SE network and somebody resurrects a cosmic gamma ray scare/hoax (this is indeed what appears to have happened here) in an answer.
And before you know it, people are either avoiding Linux because they once read somewhere that it's susceptible to butterflies or something. They can't remember for sure but they have customer-facing systems and they can't abide downtime during eclipses. It's safer to use Windows.
This is how hoaxes and baseless health scares work. Just enough to run with, not goingenough to giveconclusively refute. More than enough to convince some people. Grumpy Old Oli has no time for this a chance of taking a foothold. Save
But, my feelings aside, it for April when the world knows you'rewas just being nonsensea bad question.
