Acer did come back to me now, with a classic 'support' answer:
"This unit is been manufactured with Windows 10 operating system.There are no specific option in the BIOS to choose boot operating system and also Acer has not released any BIOS update with the firmware upgrade to enable users to choose boot operating system.
"Windows 10 is set as the default boot operating system as the unit is manufactured with it."
Fortunately the UEFI spec does apparently require them to actually boot what they're told by efibootmgr, even if they won't display it. But one oddity is that if I tell it to boot ONLY mint (-o 0002), it does it once and then boots only openSUSE whilst the boot order returns to 0001,0000,0002. (openSUSE, Win10, Mint) I haven't figured out what's going on there.
My acer aspire 5 15 inch has f12 which provides a list of the *installed* eufi bootable systems. In this case two, win 10 and openSUSE Tw, and they work and are configurable via the linux system efibootmgr. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
