My personal recommendation would be to avoid Lenovo completely...
Probably, although this problem is avoidable as long as you get rid of Windows. I just had the funny thought, in case I really can't, to install VirtualBox with a bridged network adapter and an internal switch connecting Windows and VirtualBox. Finally I make VirtualBox (internal) the gateway for Windows and block all traffic there (and probably have a proxy if you need selected access from Windows). Next time I will try that.. I find it quite frustrating to be back in the 90ies where it was hard to find a PC manufacturer who would care for anything but Windows, installations again are hit and miss. And the fiddling with monitor mode lines is replaced by figuring out what this UEFI "standard" implementation is doing wrong this time.. It is actually worse this time because MS has these days the right to bully manufacturers to block open software, it seems. Regards Peter
