Install ubuntu on lenovo yoga 900


Setting up lenovo yoga 900 with ubuntu is not straight forward. 

Get into bios by pressing the tiny circular button on the right side of the laptop with a toothpick when the computer is off.
  1. Enable back update in bios
  2. Boot to windows, dowload linux-specific bios update from lenovo, install it and follow instructions.
  3. Change configuration in bios under "configuration" from RAID to ACHI.
  4. Boot from your ubuntu usb-stick, pressing fn-f12 during restart.  
Happy linuxing.
