[opensuse-project] Does the Samsung bricking issue affect opensuse?

Does anyone with a Samsung Series 9 (or other samsung laptop) know if openSUSE is affected by the UEFI bricking issue (supposedly related to samsung-laptop module)? Has anyone installed openSUSE on a Samsung laptop with UEFI? Or did you disable it? How does this affect openSUSE? [quote] Booting Linux using UEFI just once on various Samsung laptops is enough to permanently stop them working. Several reports have been posted on the Ubuntu bug tracker, but the problem is likely to also be present in other Linux distributions, as it appears to be caused by a kernel driver for Samsung laptops. Kernel developers are currently discussing a change which would disable the driver when booting via UEFI. [/quote] http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Booting-Linux-using-UEFI-can-brick-Sa...
