Y50 - Linux thread

I'm starting this thread to document the experiences of installing and using Linux on the Lenovo Y50.

I'm receiving my 4K model Y50 from Klick tomorrow evening. My plan is to wipe the drive, clean install Windows 8.1 for the games that aren't on Linux yet, and dual boot Kubuntu 14.04. I'll post an update then.

Feel free to discuss any problems you have installing and using Linux on yourY50.
