This looks like a very big OUCH for latest generation of Intel based
laptops!
  -- desktops might be okay though.

Apart from some instability and non-working (sometimes) PS2 mouse, also 
non-working (less often) USB mouse, it is great - very fast and responsive, 
when it doesn't crash.  But I gather that the model of motherboard/Skylake 
combination I have (Giga-Byte GA-H110M-S2H and Skylake i5) is unstable even 
with Windows.

Note especially:
"Last point: some people experiencing Skylake hangs had to RMA their
Intel processor, and it helped some while others did not report any
change.  But these were "K" processors -- the ones for overclocking. I
found no reports of RMAs helping users of non-K processors.  I don't
think it is your case anyway, because your system behaved much better
under Ubuntu, while those who had broken processors had the same hang
issues on every O.S they tried, even Windows 10."

I'm amazed to hear of a Skylake machine carrying a PS/2 Port,

Then I remember that my Bay Trail SoC is a Gigabyte and also has a PS/2 port.
