I love Ubuntu, but I agree with previous Michael's message that Linux is still for "chosen" users that don't mind to get their hands dirty sometimes. Currently I have this USB problem in 15.04 after updating the kernel and I am gathering all my courage to properly report a bug (with upstream kernel testing, etc.).

I downloaded the stable amd64 iso of Ubuntu 13.04 after it was released today. It runs beautifully from a live USB key. However, after installing the OS to my hard drive and rebooting, the keyboard and mouse both fail to work. They are standard USB input devices (US layout) which have worked for years on other versions of Red Hat and Ubuntu. They work fine with the live USB version of the OS. I can't even log into the computer to collect bug data. I've tried reinstalling several times, changing the install options. Installing fresh on this computer, keeping only my old /home partition, and disallowing the installation of third-party software still produces the error. The same system has run several previous versions of Ubuntu without problems. Thanks for your help.
