I switched to stock ubuntu in 16.10(or 17.04?) due to high dpi. I have not experience crashes since 17.10 and an issue with my nvidia driver was also solved. I heard High dpi support is also coming (or was in 17.04?) so I may switch back to ubuntu-mate in 17.10 and confirm if this is no longer an issue.
