I'm sure there are hardware and software specific issues with the new kernels, but I have yet to discover anything particularly difficult other than a tendency in Ubuntu to install the wrong firmware for AMD. 4.9 retpoline is fine in Debian, and both the 4.13 & 4.15 retpoline is fine in Ubuntu for me. It is worth noting that Ubuntu boots considerably slower than Debian, and you must be careful not to interrupt updates on reboots as the CLI update and cleaning activity is hidden on the boot screen in Ubuntu, something annoying to me, about as much as sudo is in general, but of no consequence to most users. 18.04 Ubuntu is buggy but LL is far more selective with its base software and there will be less problems. PPA versions are all over the place in the bug spectrum because the pace of change has been so accelerated this year by S/M, still unresolved VM issues, the end of unity DE, and new wayland options. Add PPAs carefully. I expect LL to have very few issues compared to Ubuntu 18.04 as long as users stay with the base system. XFCE will probably be better implemented in LL than Xubuntu as well. All will be well for most LL users once the dust settles.
