I have Aspire E5-571G, and I would like to install Linux based OS. I do not like Windows, and need Linux for work. I have tried with Kubuntu 15.04 but I was getting errors like Maxwell - unknown chispet, or something like that. Also I have tried with Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon, I couldn't even start the installation, because right after I insert disk ( I have set in bios boot device priority to cd/dvd drive ) I get black screen.

 

Is there any way of installing Ubuntu based Linux distribution on this laptop ? If I knew that I can not install linux on it I wouldn't buy it, but I didn't check since I saw that many other manufacturers come with Ubutnu 12.04 preisntalled or support, I couln't believe that acer doesn't. Now I am stuck, and do not know what to do, I hope there is some solution for this.

 

Thanks in advance,

Nenad
