That's weird. Ubuntu has two tracks, the standard that gets updated every six months and the LTS track that updates every two years. I think the developers recommend the LTS versions, and it's the version I see that tends to get better corporate support. But even on LTS you can find some oddities sometimes I suppose.

What distro are you using? This seems bizarre and the sort of thing you see on a less stable rolling release.
Have you tried cleaning the plug? I find this happens a lot with debris etc.
I don't really see why it's such a dealbreaker for so many. Hardly any phones have 3.5mm, and for those that don't, you can just put a dongle on the end of your existing wired headphones.
If it has an AMD GPU you can just install it now, no waiting. But it's not good at much more than just playing games, if you want a more general purpose machine I'd install something mainstream like Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora.
Not sure Servo will ever be usable. Is it still in active development?
How so
