Whichever you have at the moment. But you'll need to update grub within the system. So if you have an MX iso you can "chroot" and do that , too (as if you booted your system).
By the way, you can also type acpi=off in boot parameters on grub, pressing e
or, again press e and type these without typo if you can, at the end of linux ... ro quiet nosplash acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2015\"
Then hit F10 to go on booting. (That will be temporarily, only for that boot).
First try acpi=off that's simple and may work.

Yes. And that's normal for Acpi stands for "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface" :)benji wrote: Sat Nov 23, 2019 3:05 pm Was able to boot in with acpi=off and the edited grub...I don't know why did it boot ?
is it because of the grub edit or the acpi=off(done on pressing 'e")?
Will try to find out and update...
i noticed after booting the battery notification does not have the indication of percentage or time remaining... is this remotely related to this ?

acpi=off can also be include there (in grub file) in some cases.
Fresh Install boots without any issues(I didn't do it now) Even installing just the nvidia driver it was booting without having to modify anything in the grub...
