    Acer has had this policy for over 20 years. I bought a laptop long ago from a vendor that I had issues with and they refused to give me support because I was running Linux at the time. (I forget what distro. Probably either Mandrake or early Ubuntu.) That laptop went right back to the vendor.

    Never bought anything from them since.

    If you mean copy/pasting the bar to the new screen/placement, I’m not sure. I’ve never gotten it to do anything other than create a new empty bar. When you look through the applets though it shows which ones you are already using and what they do so you can just click the + when you’re editing you new bar to add the thing you know you’ll want there.

    Also, try out Cinnamenu, it’s better than stock start menu imo.









  • Any “arcade” racer will do well on it. I’ve already played Forza 4/5, Dirt 4/Rally, and Grid Autosport on mine. It lends itself well to those type of games.

    Even the lighter sims work decent enough. (Project Cars, etc.) If they work with the major controllers, they tend to work on the deck just fine.

    And going off the with supersquirrel, there are a lot of other types of driving games that work well. (Spintires, American/Euro Truck Simulator, City Car Driving, and Pure Rock Crawling.)
