Silly headline. In reality they're using a weird raid mode, no ones written a linux driver for yet.

  It's not weird, it's put there deliberately to prevent people install other operation system.

  That would not be headline-worthy. There are many devices that don't have Linux drivers. The real problem is that somebody went out of their way to remove the ACPI setting in the BIOS, and apparently did this only for the Microsoft store "Signature" edition. Furthermore it doesn't seem to be a technical neccessity, since after re-flashing the BIOS the laptop works in ACPI mode with Linux and Windows. Whether or not this was due to malice is besides the point for me personally. They should just say "oops, my bad" and set the flag allowing ACPI in the next BIOS revision.
