Siya market share defines the percentage of workers that get assigned to each problem. So even though Richard is correct that fewer people use Linux on their Acer laptop it still is false-advertising to sell Acer laptop with linux preinstalled when the only thing that boots is their ancient and ultra rare distro. I also noticed from what someone mentioned above that fixes start from flagship models and find their way to the lowest tier. We are probably lucky that same components and BIOS were used with expensive models.

The default kernel of Ubuntu(18.04) hangs at loading with message: tsc: Refined TSC clocksource calibration: 1996.250 MHz clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: (...), max_idle_ns: (...) Soft lockup Using pci=noacpi kernel parameter kernel loads without any problem but my notebook produces more heat than on Win10. If I know right Acer notebooks need ACPI to the correct power management. The same thing happens on mainline 4.17,4.18rc1-2. BIOS upgrade to the latest version: 1.08 hasn't helped This problem has been reported upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200087 The latest correctly working kernel was 4.13.* but the heat problem was present with this too.
