I used a Ventoy USB flash drive to attempt an Ubuntu installation on my Aspire E 15 E5-532-P4YC. Secure boot was turned off and Legacy was set in Bios. The Installation got fairly far (to the point of wiping Windows off the HDD) then froze. Every attempt to to redo the installation ends with the process freezing at some point in the installation. I've searched the archives but nothing quite matches my problem, and I lack the expertise to dig further into this on my own. Any help would be appreciated.
This is an older laptop which wasn't being used much due to its extreme slowness! At this point, of course, we can't use it at all! I installed Ubuntu on my wife's old Dell desktop a while back and that seems to work well so I'm guessing from this and from some of my reading that this is a problem with some Acer laptops.
