[Updated with comment from Lenovo] If you re looking for a new PC to install Linux onto, you might want to give Lenovo s Windows 10 powered Signature PCs a wide berth.
According to Reddit user BaronHK, it is impossible to install Linux onto the Signature Edition Lenovo Yoga 900 ISK2 UltraBook because the SSD is locked in a proprietary RAID mode that Linux doesn t support, and that even Windows 10 cannot use without an Lenovo driver being downloaded first.
