I have a friend who has an Acer Aspire V15. He has been trying to install Ubuntu but says he is having problems. I don't know what the specific problem is yet.

My question is, has anyone successfully managed to install Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire V15? If so, have you experienced any problems?
If anyone has not actually installed on an Acer Aspire V15 but has any useful information, that would still be very helpful!

Many other Acer installs.
The advanced ones with dual SSD in RAID are more difficult.
