I won't, because I never purchased any Apple products.

One guy has done a nice work decompiling the BIOS and found that skipping over the hidden BIOS pages is hard-coded into the firmware. See this https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Installing-Ubu...

It does not make a much difference as all new Lenovo ultrabooks are "Signature Edition".

I named it secret because these laptops have been sold for months and no one was aware of this agreement with MS until today.

Why was the title changed to "a recent Lenovo laptop" when at least four models are affected: Yoga 900 ISK2, Yoga 900S,Yoga 710S and Ideapad 710S.

If you read the original reddit thread, you would understand that this is not just a drivers issue. Lenovo intentionally programmed their BIOS so that it reverts any changes to RAID mode making it impossible to install Linux.

It is much worse because Lenovo programmed the BIOS to lock the system so if you try to toggle it to AHCI mode with an EFI variable from EFIshell, it immediately sets itself back to RAID mode.

Of course some legacy software is still in use. But i'm in doubt that python can be a good choice for today's startups.

The programming languages you mentioned dominate their niches. What is left for Python? Being a former Python programmer (5+ years) i really don't see any reason to use it now.
