Mostly the same, yes. That's just a dumb bot... You can choose to either do as it asks or to ignore it and set 'Confirmed'. Separately, I still think something might be crashing, and when it does you wouldn't really know a crash had occurred. Only the absence of a working system is a hint.

OK, next please run these commands and send us the resulting files: dmesg > dmesg.txt journalctl > journal.txt And in case something is crashing please also do: 1. Apply the workaround from bug 994921. 2. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run: ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash and tell us the ID of the newly-created bug. 3. If step 2 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the contents of the /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id file on the machine.

Sorry, no improvements.
