I recently bought a Recoil series 15.6'' laptop from pcspecialist with the intention of installing Linux. The installation process seemed to be successful, however after attempting to login after the installation the OS just froze indefinitely. I tried to install Ubuntu 18.04.1, Debian 9.6.0 and Deepin 15.8 with all of them freezing after the install. However, Ubuntu worked fine on the live boot which leads me to believe there may be an issue with the storage drive. Any advice would be much appreciated.
