It seems that there is a bug in specific models of Lenovo laptops. These systems are bricked when users are trying to install one of the most popular Linux distros. Canonical the company behind Ubuntu Linux currently is not allowing anyone to download Ubuntu 17.10 and posted a message that read as, “The download of Ubuntu 17.10 is currently discouraged due to an issue on certain Lenovo laptops. Once fixed this download will be enabled again.”
