I'm getting update notifications and one of the items says "Ubuntu base".
Is it safe to install these updates that pops up or will it mess the OS up?

I would avoid any Ubuntu updates! Please open your Update Manager and click on the Settings button - click on the Updates Tab and make sure that 'Update to the latest version of Ubuntu' is set to 'Never'.

I had a problem with kernel updates making my system not boot until I booted to an earlier kernel. In my case this was a 3.2.xx for Zorin 6 Ultimate LTS. What I did to solve this, based on some advice from either Wolfman or Swarfendor437 was to use Synaptic to uninstall the newer kernels, and this is key, use the completely remove option. Following that the update manager never tried to install a kernel from post Zorin 6 (Ubuntu 12.04). It only installed the latest 3.2.xx kernel and it boots everytime. I'm not sure of how this happened but it worked for me.
all the best
