Soo insyde BIOS got a big bug via 17.10 ubuntu iso
- Settings not getting saved in bios
- USB booting is a no-go.
- suspend never wakes up without battery removal
Infected systems mostly include acer, LENoVO and hp mainly

I am surprised it took them this long to notice the bug.

    @Torbuntu Ubuntu enables some drivers that seem to not be ready for end-user machine bioses. That causes some trouble with them. They fixed it by just disabling the drivers 😊
    They are called "intel-spi-*"

    @Torbuntu an ideal OS shouldnt be allowed to tamper with bios
    Otherwise application layer products can also ruin the bios. Thats our ideal ideology. I was shocked too when i first heard this thing can happen
