Just took a look on the Acer website also. The new BIOS is almost double in size, maybe they actually added the correct acpi tables this time around. The same exact MB is used in some HP and Lenovo laptops and their issues subsided with recent BIOS updates, let's hope the same for us. As for my long-term test (since an earlier post), was running Debian stretch with the 4.18 kernel, updated amdgpu, libdrm, and had the ioacpi workarounds added to grub. It was quite stable, with some complaints if the screen blanked. It, however, was not 100%. Do not try 4.19 or 012019 amdgpu firmware with Debian, it was a complete fail. However, fedora with 4.19 works, but haven't tested it long-term.
