Let me preface that with I’m a bloody linux and every releated noob and it’s been like 5 years so my memory is a little fuzzy:
I never figured out why Ubuntu didn’t run but it just didn’t, after i got mint working i realized that there are no drivers and a leptop with out touchpad/wifi isn’t why I needed it in the first place…
It was an aspite 3 a315-41g. I quickly googled to refresh my memory and I read something about that, I can’t recall if I tried it out though. I needed to changed a few settings so maybe I tried.
Ah, I have the aspire a315-56. Mint was pretty painless for me after the RST issue. I didn’t have to worry about wifi/bluetooth/touchpad drivers at all. Right out of the box its been smooth (for linux) for me.

I brought an acer leptop a couple of years back and acer made it nearly impossible to install any other os then windows onto it

Because of Intel RST? I just had to deal with that but was able to get a dual boot of mint on my acer.
