Hello everyone, I wanted to raise an issue that continues, regarding how
manufacturers implement the UEFI system on their computers, and how it
affects users.
In particular, I mean as some companies like Acer, make their laptops
recognize only the UEFI boot, if and only if the parent folder is called
"Windows Boot Manager".
This brought me a lot of headaches, particularly because using the
"legacy bios", the laptop had problems with power management (not turned
off, restarted, suspended, etc).

Initially unaware of the situation, but much searching I found the
solution. Now my question is: is that the user experience is expected in
fedora?
Unfortunately, the distribution can not do much about it, unless you can
document these situations.
In the last week, trying to enable ZSWAP in my system, I realized that
it is not possible to update the grub after editing the file
etc/default/grub with the command /boot/efi/EFI/Windows\ Boot\
Manager/grub.cfg (modifying the target route). I had to create a file in
another location and then replace the existing one.
Under these circumstances, the GRUB2 automatic update work?
They will searching the web several cases, particularly with ACER and
ASUS laptops. My focus is on this issue, as several of these laptops
(Aspire E 11 "ES1-111M-C6NR) were donated to a high school with
aspirations to use Linux (fedora) on those computers.
Cheers
