Linux Mint 18.1 beta 64bit is booting. I decided to setup a suppervisor password in the bios to have full access into it. I installed Linux Mint with UEFI boot with secure boot deactivated and it didn't boot after installation. I decided to look at the bios options a little bit more and I found out that there are options in the secure boot menu. I reactivated the secure boot and I went to the secure boot option menu in which we can select a trusted .efi file. I accessed this option menu and chose HDD0 and then I had multiple choices, most of them were series of numbers but one was called ubuntu, I selected ubuntu and then I had 3 choices and one of them was x64grub.efi. I selected the x64grub.efi and rebooted in Linux Mint. That's how I had Linux Mint 18.1 working in my Acer Swift 3.
Thanks for the info.
I tried it with kde neon and kubuntu. Had my hopes up once I saw a boot device finally available, but after selection all I get is a blank screen.
