In recent days, a bitter controversy has been taking place about certain computers that have Windows 10 and that are totally blocked from the user and owner of the device. The first alarm rang when a user with a Lenovo ultrabook tried to install Linux on his computer. After not being able, he asked it in a forum and little by little he saw the problem that Lenovo computers with Windows 10 created. Above all blocked for the installation of other operating systems such as Gnu / Linux. This is why many claim that Microsoft is somewhat hypocritical with its claims of love for Linux.
The truth is that during yesterday, Lenovo through a statement warned that such a situation on their computers is due to orders from Microsoft. But today Microsoft has stepped up and reported on the whole issue situation.
Apparently the Linux problem with Windows Signature Edition computers is caused by the drivers and firmware used by the RAID disk system, a system whose firmware is not found in Gnu / linux and if in Windows 10. That is why Linux can be installed on other non-Lenovo systems. It's just a question of drivers, Microsoft says.
The Linux crash problem lies in the lack of firmware and drivers on the part of Linux systems
But the truth is that despite this clarification, of which I totally agree, there are still elements that they don't explain everything as the fact that Ubuntu's bash can't work on these systems, something that should happen if the problem is really due to lack of drivers. In any case, as the details of the controversy become known, it becomes clearer that the problem is caused by Lenovo and not by Microsoft's own operating system, although some Microsoft problems are also highlighted.
In any case, according to Microsoft Windows 10 is fully compatible with Linux and Lenovo's problem will be fixed over time, that is, with Linux kernel updates.
