I just bought an Acer Nitro 5 that came pre-installed with Windows 10, but I want to run Linux (Pop!_OS). I've installed the Linux distro as a clean install (i.e., "erase everything and clean install"), not a dual boot. I've done it a couple of times now. But both times, Windows is still there (and in fact boots first because I haven't changed the boot order in the BIOS). Why is Windows persistent after a clean install, and how can I get rid of it?
