And Lu_ca, how did you manage to install Linux on your Acer?
Standard DVD is 4.2, not sure the double size works as boot and since older system, better to use lightweight flavor anyway. See Post 53 by ogra for links.
Have you checked you have latest UEFI firmware from Acer? Many different models of Acer from about that timeframe had to have UEFI firmware updates. Check manual and Acer support site for your model. Manual may also have info on USB boot settings.
When I tried to down load manul it said I did not have correct model and it maybe
“Acer Aspire E17 ES1-711 manual pdf”
But Acer site wants serial number do get to its correct support page.

When I updated to Windows 10, due to the bug, the system started freezing. Other than that, all the USB ports worked… I simply created a bootable pendrive, and following a tutorial I installed it.
I even had my Hopper Distro with this laptop… I must have installed +/- 50 distros.
