[A spokesperson for Intel has been in touch to say the chipmaker is aware of the BIOS cockup triggered by installing Ubuntu Linux 17.10. "We’re actively working with Ubuntu to ensure the issue is corrected," she said. "This is a unique issue based on non-Intel recommended changes made to the BIOS configurations by Ubuntu."

At work I have no choice but none of my home systems run Windows and I wouldn't consider using a Win 10 cd as a coaster let alone install it on a system I own.
The reality is that this happens with anything software+hardware no matter how much you invest in QA due to the volatile nature of computers and the extreme differences between systems leading to near infinite combinations.

LTS releases are not really LTS. They have years old buggy software. Real long term support is in Debian testing, it has been rolling since mid December 2000. Stable and Debian derivatives distributions are a waste of human resources. You can have a "stable" Debian by installing Debian testing and never update it.

so much talk against canonical but they resolve the problem, Apple and M$ never do that. Some faults we need to wait years before some correction and they are multinationals not like canonical, a small company who don't control the hardware. Another thing Lenovo firmware/bios is a piece of garbage I see problems every day with Lenovo laptops using windows
