I'm considering to upgrade my PC to Ubuntu v17.10, but I'm afraid because there's a BIOS issue has been confirmed for several different lines of Lenovo laptops also the reports of it affecting a few Acer, Toshiba and Dell laptops.

Should I upgrade or not? Also I can't download the Latest Ubuntu 17.10 ISO, the official website download link is currently discouraged.

Ubuntu 17.10.1 has been released to avoid that problem. Ensure that the installer you use is 17.10.1, not 17.10. The ISOs are available here.

  • The question was about upgrade. Upgrading should install all the latest updates to 17.10 though.

  • This answer does not answer the question stated in the title "Would the kernel included with 17.10 lock the BIOS into read-only?", it only says a workaround for the actual problem that is not even acknowledged. I recommend you edit it into your answer to prevent it from being deleted.

  • @Ferrybig As you can see by the edits, the question in the title wasn't the question in the title at the time I answered.
