You heard me: do not install Ubuntu. According to bug reports filed on Launchpad, the official Ubuntu bug tracker, installing Ubuntu 17.10 may inadvertently corrupt the BIOS on a raft of Lenovo laptops, including the Lenovo Yoga line. Which is seriously bad news." http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/12/u...vo-laptop-bios https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...BIOS-Corrupter https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...x/+bug/1734147
