I have an Acer Aspire laptop, E5-511-P8C8, setup to dual boot Windows 8.1
(ugh) and Linux Mint.

HDMI out and sound work fine under Linux on this laptop. I can't think of
anything that is problematic.

I used it with a second screen GeChic 'On-Lap Monitor' 2501 series when I
was on holiday in Guatemala and Got Some Real Work Done.
