Machine specs in the format it arrived here:
8GB of DDR4 RAM (1x8GB, second memory slot empty)
128GB M.2 SSD
1TB HDD
AMD Ryzen 2500U APU
AMD Radeon RX560X graphics
15.6" FullHD IPS Display, (viewing angles very fine)
Booting for install
In order to get the system even to boot i changed the grub line fromquite splashto
nosplash pci=noacpi rcu_nocbs=0-7 processor.max_cstate=1After setting the machine up then also add the keys to /etc/default/grub and run sudo grub-update.
Something that i can't vouch for is the touchpad. It worked initially with linux but then suddenly disappeared and as i use external mouse anyway i wasn't bothered so far to track it down.
*UPDATE*
Time has moved on, on ubuntu 19.10 with kernel 5.3.0-24-generic the noacpi is no more the required workaround.
Now my kernel line looks like this :
nosplash idle=nomwait pci=noaer iommu=pt ivrs_ioapic[4]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[5]=00:00.2 rcu_nocbs=0-7 processor.max_cstate=1
Partitioning
Ubuntu proposed to me that let's install the linux onto the 1tb hdd instead of the windows carrying ssd. While very generous, i was going to have none of that and chose manual partitioning. Since the machine is already in the efi era you _have to_ create a separate partition for /boot/efi with fat32 , in my case i made it 300 megabytes big (doesn't really need that much). The rest i left for rest of Ubuntu as / and the terabyte hdd i will mount as a separate mount point.Linux tools output for the common commands.

Thanks so much for posting your Grub options on this device!
Also -- if you want to enable touchpad, change the touchpad option from Advanced to Basic in the BIOS & reboot -- works great.
Thank you! It very helpful to me.
Anyway, have you fn+left or fn+right brigtness keys worked?
Though cpu fans are always running and it heats even when kept idle. Same model (nitro 5 an515-42)
Please help
great its work for me, but i get some bug after i suspend the laptop it cant wake up. any advice about this ?
Also adding parameter i8042.nopnp to boot parameter makes mu touchpad usable.
Where to add those parameters (as I was noob)
After installation, the grub edit does not work for me,its gets stuck after loading purple screen.. Help.
If you get stuck after grub - you are missing the options pointed out in the post.
As for suspend - i had it disabled until now.
Today i found out however how to upgrade bios on the machine without installing windows back on the main hard disk.
1. Download windows 10 install iso from microsoft.
2. Download windows bios update from acer
3. Install virtualbox with extras into ubuntu
4. Get a big memory stick (64gb in my case)
5. Make the virtualbox use the usb stick as a disk directly (create the according virtualbox)
make sure which disk your usb disk is, mine was /dev/sdc
$sudo chmod a+rw /dev/sdc
$VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "usdb-disk.vmdk" -rawdisk /dev/sdc
6. Intall windows 10 in virtualbox to the usb stick. Leave a few megabytes of the usb stick free
7. Run mbr2gpt in windows after install to make windows boot in uefi mode. Transport the bios update to the windows disk too. (I just downloaded it there in windows with Edge).
8. Restart machine. press F12 to choose boot disk, boot from usb, let the machine settle after windows start.
9. Run bios tool, it restarts once into a funky black-red screen, updates bios, restarts.
10. Linux boots up nicely after that. You will also notice a new behaviour with bios 1.11, the keyboard starts to turn off the lights dynamically if you are not typing. Fancy stuff.
my bios is now bumped from 1.5 to 1.11
Also would like to send greetings to Acer people making my life so fun.
Dude, I can't do anything , I'm on bios v1.12. I want things to a bit clear because I'm new to this platform and what's all the code above, should I copy-paste it in my grub or else should I just leave it. Installation of Ubuntu, I'm stuck at purple screen which does not load or do anything. Please help me with a bit more detail in terms of the steps. Sorry if I've offended you but I'm kinda frustrated banging my head over this is for mostly this entire day .
Please tell me how to install. From the primitive step .
I have been running Linux mint for sometime now @shruti swaroop. I would recommend that over Ubuntu. And you should probably learn basic Linux commands or your way around it first
Press E on the try Ubuntu option
Edit the grub
Ctrl + X to boot
Install Ubuntu
Edit the grub again as before before booting
Make changes in etc/default/grub
Run sudo update-grub ( might be different , just use google ;) )
Reboot.
You won't need to edit grub every time
I would also recommend following the manjaro forums thread for this device. There are some updated grub options there and more info
ok, I am a newbee. dont quiet understand
After setting the machine up then "also add the keys to /etc/default/grub" and run sudo grub-update.

thank you very much, with that command everything goes smoothly and I finally managed to install ubuntu. Only, I have to re-insert it every time I boot the notebook. How do I save the commands?
any new updates????
IS support for linux added to this laptop????
every time I come here I bless you
I also have this issue with kernel 5 and Ryzen processor with Vega graphics chip (on board video)
