Can confirm for Z50-70. The "bug" occurs just after Ubuntu 17.10 installation and makes UEFI useless except for booting Ubuntu itself. What is interesting for me is that, my prior linux installations did not create a new label in the boot menu. After any os installation I would get a boot entry

Since people don't care to read whole discussion I'm going to repeat myself here every few posts. It is not caused by Ubuntu 17.10 It is general Linux issue (I was Antergos user when it hit me) Solution is to physically replace NVRAM chip and reflash it with the content from the old one.
