Acer Nitro 5 ships with a buggy BIOS. That's why Ubuntu kernel panics when it's supposed to format the disk and why Oracle Linux logs a ton of ACPI errors. It's possible to update the BIOS, but only on Windows.
(my bold)

I've never seen a BIOS that didn't have an updater available that runs at boot. Doesn't mean there isn't one...

There's probably one for your BIOS as well. Of course, that means making a bootable USB, and that's probably outside your skillset.
