No bootable device found after ubuntu install Aspire ES 14

I just got this Acer Aspire ES14 and wanted to throw some debian based distro on it. After many attempts I still cant get it to work.
Install seems to go just fine no problems (from USB) after it tells me to reboot I get the 'No Bootable Device'.
After googling for a bit I found a couple of solutions
Dont use UEFI but legacy mode -> not an option in my BIOS
Select a UEFI file of some sorts -> Cant do that either, only options are 'Erase all secure boot setting' and 'Restore Default'
Enable/disable secure boot -> tried both, same results
If somebody could help me I would be so gratefull, I'm getting desparate.

does your system have OS boot options or only device boot options?

Please run the Boot Repair utility from the Ubuntu installer booted in its "try before installing" mode and select the "Create BootInfo Summary" option. (DO NOT click "Recommended Repair," at least not yet!) When asked whether to upload the report, click "Yes," and then post the URL provided here. This will give us more details about your configuration, which is required to base an answer on more than guesswork.

Device boot requires the default media path - /efi/boot/bootx64.efi in the ESP partition order to boot.
So copy /efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi to /efi/boot/ and rename to bootx64.efi.
If you are using secure boot, /efi/ubuntu/shimx64.efi will need to be copied and renamed.
Note: you will need to temporarily remove the ESP flag in order to make this change.

Same problem here. Installing and then changing to Legacy mode didn't work. Boot Repair utility didn't work. Manually selecting (in the BIOS) a .efi file didn't work...
We finally solved the following way:

- Install Ubuntu from a pen drive normally.
This is for an Ubuntu-only installation. No dual boot in our case.
