I'm not sure what you mean by "crap that won't work at all, let alone 
work properly." I suppose it is subjective.

I have been using 14.04 right along on my quad-core AMD desktop and my 
dual core Intel laptop and it has been just fine.

Now, having said that, I did not do a clean install. I upgraded from the 
last LTS, 12.04 I believe it was. No issues. Everything just worked as 
usual. If anything 14.04 was better than 12.04.

Acer AMD quad-core with 16 gigs of memory. Radeon video card update with 
AMD Catalyst.
