<p>I got a new Lenovo Thinkpad. I'm preparing to install Ubuntu on the computer. The BIOS settings give me the choice of setting it to "UEFI-only" or "Legacy." I'd prefer to use UEFI-only because it's supposed to allow faster boot. But I don't know how well Ubuntu supports UEFI. Which setting is advisable?</p>
