I recently bought Acer Nitro 5 laptop.I am encountering boot issue with linux mint 19.3
Specifications:
Model : Acer Nitro AN515-43
1) Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 3550H
2) RAM : 8 GB
3) Hard Drives: 238.47 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD
4) Graphics Devices : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 and AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 8
I got it with windows 10. I need Linux distros as secondary OS. So i installed Linux Mint 19.3.
Installation was good and completed.But after installation, i encountering black screen OFTEN when i choose Linux in GRUB menu.I also encountering issues like crashing chrome,crashing celluloid(video player)
I searched through internet and found that nomodeset will solve this issue. So i did what i saw in forums. Yes it did work! But unfortunately, once i boot with linux with nomodeset,driver manager warns me that video driver is not installed and that battery performance will be high. Also i can not alter brightness level which is to the maximum when booted with nomodeset option.
I thought that since inux mint 19.3 was released recently, it might be a problem to AMD processor.So i thought of installing linux mint 19.2.
When tried to install 19.2, i got some 6 warning messages (attached below) but it seems i can install 19.2 but what i thought i will face if i installed 19.2 will be the same as that of 19.3.Because i see those 6 lines in the screen whenever i boot with linux mint 19.3.So i just did shutdown my laptop.
It is also to be noted that: i can boot into linux without the above mentioned problem(black screen) or it boots normally without using nomodeset.
I searched in internet for about a week but still i couldn't solve it.Please help me with my problem.I would also be happy if i got any linux distro that would be working fine with my device.
I would like to mention some areas i encountered when i searched the internet for answers so that i hope it would be helpful to you:
1) secure boot
2) fast boot
3) UEFI
