If 18.04 shipped with it it's specific to 18.04 LOL Yes the question was too broad.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than on facts, references, or specific expertise. I wanted facts, like screenshots, etc. Not opinions. I wanted someone to be like, yeah I'm using 40% RAM whereas when I was running the same apps doing about the same thing on 16.04 I was using 20%. Of course that invites some opinion-based answers, but now, because of you, the 200 something'th person to read my question, I don't even have the option to disregard them.

Ubuntu Forums has NEVER been as helpful but whatever rolls eyes

Yeah but nobody can read it now that it's inactive, huh?? it'll disappear from the front page in a half hour and be forgotten about in an hour.

Exactly, that would give me an idea of what kind of systems are deeply affected and what to avoid upgrading, etc. Totally not the wrong place to ask the question, I had a ton of views before you closed my question, nobody else saw a problem with it. Just you.

It's NOT worth upgrading if it's got a bug that makes the system wholly unusable. That is not an opinion, it is a fact. I'll go to Ubuntu Forums, because you apparently don't like that I pointed out one of the major downfalls of 18.04. Thanks.

So if I said, "How is the memory leak affecting you?" That would be acceptable?
