AMD has open source drivers on Linux. With the exception of Arch and Gentoo which require manual installation for certain drivers , all Linux distrihutions as long as said driver is open source (such as the case with AMD) is pre-installed onto the system. Unless the GPU came out a day before...

You can try adding another RAM stick to the additional slot located behind the keyboard.

Interesting. My recommendation would be to try out PeppermintOS. If that doesn't work try out Manjaro I3 Edition. It requires less specifications than Lubunut, however try it out on a USB first. The keyboard shortcuts and general navigation on a tiling window manager would be a new experience at...

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Usually the error due to COMRESET being a SATA protocol, so it can either be due to the SATA connector or the motherboard itself. Try disassembling the laptop and detaching the connector from the port so that you would be able to more easily clean it, in case dust...

No. They did it that way for that particular mouse because of how it was designed (legit though, it has an opening in the middle where the mouse wheel was located, where else would they have included it). Nothing more, nothing less.

Considering Ubuntu and Manjaro uses to different graphical installers, Ubiquity and Calamares respectively. I doubt the issue is with the distribution. Have you tried disabling secure boot as stated before though Ubuntu should run even when its enabled. Try using another flashdrive as well just...

A clean installation would remove previous drivers from the system, in case something were to cause conflicts. When I used Windows, I use to manually instll the drivers from AMD's website, where there was an option to perform a clean installation after a reboot when running the file. As for...

Have you updated Windows to the latest version? When you reinstalled the graphics drivers, did you perform a clean installation?

I currently have Ubuntu on an SSD and its working perfectly. I doubt that is the issue.

By chance, have you disable secure boot on your system?

Have you tried looking at the Additional Drivers application to see whether a dkms module is available for your bluetooth adapter? The driver for it might be proprietary or unofficial.

What is your bluetooth adapter/card. Try doing a lspci | grep -i blue to see whether the card is detected on the system.
