I purchased an acer laptop and put debian on it. When I went to access the bios for the second time after installing, it froze on the acer logo. same thing when trying to boot into uefi. should i try resetting my bios?
LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE
Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: $400-600
Are you open to refurbs/used? Possibly, if a good deal
How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Form factor: small enough to fit in a backpack
Build quality: relatively sturdy, nothing crazy thin or crazy thick
Performance: able to keep up with compilation and maybe a small amount of rendering
Battery life: 1 day is fine, 2 days is great, 3 days is overkill
How important is weight and thinness to you? Not all that important, midrange on both
Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 14-15"
Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Small amounts of photoshop, JDKs, maybe some other coding environments. Game specs unnecessary.
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Good quality build is important to me as it will live in my backpack, but nothing too bulky. No touch screen. Windows preferred, but Macs would be alright if it fits these requirements. 2+ USB slots, USB-C charging, decent storage (256+).
