I'm using an Acer Aspire ES1-533 laptop. I already have Ubuntu 18.04 installed and I'm really happy with the OS. Installing 18.04 was a nightmare, but I was able to do it by following this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/hnke1e/guide_installing_ubuntu_on_acer_aspire_es15/

However trying to install 20.04 or 22.04 has proven to be impossible. I have already tried the recommendations in this thread Problems installing Ubuntu on Acer laptop to no avail. Could you guys help me please? I'm very new to Linux, but Ubuntu 18.04 isn't supported anymore and I'd like to keep using it. Many thanks in advance.

  • @Rinzwind sadly it didn't work as Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 have the try and install Ubuntu options in the same instance. – José Valencia Jun 28 '23 at 17:40

Subscribe to Ubuntu Pro.

It's free, it's supported for five more years, and it bypasses the problem with your locked UEFI.

Of course, you will be using 2018-vintage applications on that 2018-vintage OS. You can sometimes get around that limitation by using Snap-based software.

  • Yeah, I think I'll subscribe. I thought you had to pay, but now that you mention it is free, there's no reason not to. Thanks a lot. – José Valencia Jun 23 '23 at 19:54
