Always remember to disable secureboot and remove bitlocker before installing linux on a oem windows machine. They make it hell to remove that malware from newer machines.

Bitlocker doesn't mean anything when you delete its partition.

I would recommend keeping secure boot enabled if your OS supports it, and manually enrolling the key if it doesn't. Boot chain attacks are a real concern.

Some linux installers will refuse to erase the bitlocker partition automatically. Then you have to manually erase it before running the installer.
