I have tried to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on a Acer Aspire 5750G laptop, several times. Until now I have successfully installed the OS two times,. Fix multi-touch problems for Elantech touchpads on Ubuntu in two super easy steps. Just tried it on my Acer Aspire S7, and it worked perfectly for me too. The last 2 terminal commands every time I reboot for the driver to load properly. Acer Aspire 5750 – your fix didn't work but I noticed a reply above.
G'day again,I personally run Linux Mint 18.3.and if I tap the menu icon.and type in 'drivers'.it brings up 'Driver Manager'click on that, and it scans and carries on and eventually tell me that intel microcode is the firmware for my intel cpuIt doesnt mention anything about graphics because the graphics card in inbuilt on the motherboard.I am not conversant with the Ubuntu menu.I have never used it.However.seeing that linux is based on Ubuntu, the differences should not be anything overwhelming.So.menudrivers.follow the prompts from there.and report back what it is that you find. Can you tell us what fixed the overheating problem?I don't believe that Ubuntu necessarily dislikes AMD processors either! Peculiar quirks come up sometimes between distros and all the various manufacturers, using both AMD and Intel chips. Keep in mind that just about all computers are designed for Windows, not Linux. While Linux developers do a great job of making things work, things can't be perfect all the time. This is a primary reason why folks should try out different distros when they are getting into Linux.
To discover which distro works best with their particular hardware.Cheers.
I understood what you meant, I was just clarifying a touch. A lot of people act like Debian's ZOMG HARD! And stay away due to that reputation. It's incrementally more difficult than Ubuntu, but nothing someone halfway technical couldn't deal with from the start. Anyone that can comfortably install, run, and maintain Ubuntu shouldn't have any difficulty with Debian.
A little more setup is all it is really, and a touch more work if you want non-free drivers, but it doesn't deserve its reputation for 1337 haxorness a lot of people give it.

This, I am fairly new linux user, but I find Debian to be much more hassle free than fedora or ubuntu. Technically I had a problems with drivers for my laptop on both distros, including dozens of programs were only possible to install after installing several packages first. The Debian worked out of the box and the GUI is much better designed and is in general very easy to learn and install.
But I assume that general non technical person, if transitioning from windows or mac os to linux will encounter problems, but this scenario is very unreal, unless they are forced to that in work or so, I don't think that your average blond girl using computer to watch high school musical and facebook will ever start to use linux, that's fact. It helps to have the basic concepts of GNU/Linux down, but even that isn't essential if you're willing to learn. It really isn't much different from Ubuntu. Ubuntu makes installing proprietary software easier, and they give a nice setup out of the box, but otherwise I do little different on Debian than I did on Ubuntu, including seldom using the terminal.
I don't use the terminal much, and when I do it's only out of convenience. I can only think of one time I.had.
to use the terminal, and that was when I broke X and used the console to fix it. That would have applied to any distro, and isn't Debian specific.
