http://www.fascinatingcaptain.com/reviews/the-acer-one-cloudbook-14-a-super-affordable-linux-laptop/So I created a Linux Mint install USB drive and plugged it in.
After enabling the F12 key in the BIOS I installed Linux Mint on the internal drive without any problems. The problem came after I rebooted when I was greeted with the no boot device icon on screen.
After a brief stroke of my beard, I realised that this was UEFI’s secure boot causing the problem. In the end I had to set a supervisor password for the BIOS and add the trusted UEFI file manually (you can get to the BIOS by pressing F2 on boot).
