Discussion
Am running Linux Mint on an Aspire 7560-7183. Have not tested Bluetooth or Firewire, but everything else seems to work fine.
Two small glitches – don't know if it's the hardware or the OS: (1) resolution of an external monitor is not always correctly detected. (2) resume from suspend occasionally doesn't work.
