Are there any issues with running Linux OS on Aspire A715-71G-7588 laptop?

I like to replace the W10 OS with Linux Mint or Ubuntu OS (the latest and stable versions).

a good start would be to live boot from a usb stick and use it basically to check everything is working fine (wi-fi, mouse, sound, bluetooth etc) - do that a few times and if it's all good, then it should be good in my experience.

@linux_mint It is best to install it as dual boot by following these instructions. https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/comment/561300/#Comment_561300

( 0) Pre-shrink Windows partition to desired unallocated space for Linux installation.
( 1) Make bootable GPT/FAT32(default) stick from the Linux installation iso with Rufus.
( 2) Set BIOS supervisor password(SECURITY), disable secure boot(BOOT)& enable F12 Windows boot mgr (MAIN).
Save BIOS settings & exit. May not be needed with some Linux installations like Mint.
( 3) Shutdown & insert bootable Linux stick
( 4) Turn back on while immediately tapping F12. Select Linux stick to run.
( 5) Preferrably select a default Linux install option
( 6) Follow on-screen instructions to install alongside Windows.
( 7) Let Linux automatically set & resize partitions for Linux & its swap. Adjust for more or less space
only if absolutely necessary.
( 8) Shutdown & remove Linux stick.
( 9) Turn back on while tapping F2.
(10) Re-enable secure boot(BOOT) & select UEFI file as trusted(MAIN). Select HDD0, SSD0 or eMMC0,
 then <EFI>, then <ubuntu>, then grubx64.efi the UEFI file. Enter grubx64.efi in the space provided if
 selecting it doesn't automatically enter it. Save BIOS setting and exit. 
(11) Boot into Windows. Then shutdown again.
(12) Turn back on while tapping F12.
(13) If desired, put grubx64.efi ahead of Windows boot manager in UEFI bootstrapper
