I've ordered VN7-592G already. And I'm not able to install ubuntu on it in UEFI mode. Even if installation passed the whole installation process - Windows 10 is the only available system to boot.

Does anyone handle this?

Ever Acer we have seen so far has same requirement for setting supervisory password and "trust" on Ubuntu/grub's UEFI boot files.
That is actually better than many like HP, Sony and others that only offically boot some operating system called "Windows".

Very latest UEFI/BIOS works, downgrade not required:

Welcome. Better here as you changed support requests part way through the other thread. :)
