Stallman would go apeshit.

Actually, Stallman would take out a signal analyser and spend the next few weeks going through and analysis the various hardware interfaces to pinpoint the source of the fault.

are you impyling installing ubuntu actually caused the fault?

No. I'm respond to the assertion that Stallman would go apeshit upon learning such news. Since he's a highly experienced OS developer, he would get irrefutable proof that the hardware problem is indeed a hardware problem and complain about this manager's misconduct to a higher manager in search of reparations.

Actually, he'd probably blame Linux and try to convince everyone to switch to HURD.

I don't see what benefits changing the kernel will have. Most "Linux" distributions use GNU software already. So really he's blaming the software he helped write in the first place. How ironic.
