I've tried way too long to get any Linux distribution booted into an installation medium on my Aspire 3 A314. After a bunch of looking through wikis and asking people online, i got Arch Linux installed on my system (Installation media booted using command list arguments: nvme.noacpi=1 and nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0), but now that i have finally got it installed, it wont boot. I've tried messing with every BIOS option i could find, still no dice. Is there anything i can change/do to get Linux to function at least semi-properly?

    There have been a lot of different A314 models over the years. Which one do you have? Your full model number is usually on the same sticker as your serial number, it should look something like A314-xxx-xxxx. I believe even the oldest ones in that line use a UEFI boot process, so both Windows Boot Manager and Grub should work fine to choose the right boot environment.
