Install Linux on Acer Inspire E 17

Has anyone had success installing Linux on their Acer Inspire E 17 (or any number variant)? I have been trying to install Ubuntu for the past three days and have had no luck, and am trying with all my might to refrain from cursing on this discussion board. I read an article (not sure if it's true) saying that it is impossible to disable secure boot on many new PC models, and therefore impossible to install (dual-boot for me) any distro of Linux? I understand that Ubuntu claims to be able to run with secure boot enabled, but I have yet to be able to do so. Am I just an idiot? 

 

Note: During the Ubuntu install process, it would give me the option to "install alongside Windows Boot Manager" rather than "install alongside Windows 10". I'm not sure if this is the issue, but I sure as heck hope it is and that someone can help me resolve it so I can use Linux to code for iOS since Apple is a bag of dog doo-doo (feel free to take liberty of assuming what I would use in place of 'doo-doo').

 

Thanks for the help anyone!
