From further googling, the ACPI bugs appear to be fairly common and don't seem to get in the way of anything, and must just have been suppressed by my last distro, (Fedora) so I just didn't see them, but did see them when I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Debian yesterday, so definitely not a Neon problem, so can just close this one. The nouveau one sounds like it may not supporting my card, (Nvidia 970M) but, as with the ACPI ones, both doesn't seem to get in the way / cause problems, (at least until I could install the (535) proprietary drivers) nor is it unique to Neon, so, at best it'd be a nouveau issue and you can close this one here.
