When I enter the BIOS (F2) and change the boot order and save it doesn't
remember the settings. Changing to legacy mode is also not possible.
Finally, directly booting via the quick boot menu (F8) is not able to
boot anything except the HDD.

It's definitely the BIOS bug discussed here. Because I was using Lubuntu
17.10 in December 2017. The affected iso was released in October 2017. I
have an Insyde H20 bios. So all symptoms point to this bug.

Thanks for offering some solutions. I would love one of them to work for
me. However, I did recently contact Lenovo to send my laptop in for
repair. They were very helpful. And have even offered to pay for the
postage.

So that is another solution if you cant boot Linux.
