Given that this is a convertible tablet/laptop, it's one of the very few devices where continuum is useful. I doubt installing Linux is really an option for the author.
Even so, UEFI doesn't present a problem for Linux. UEFI is not the same as secure boot, though secure boot is part of UEFI (in other words, you can have UEFI without secure boot, but secure boot requires UEFI). In most PCs with secure boot, you can simply turn secure boot off, though I would be surprised if a Microsoft device had that option. Even so, several Linux distros do support secure boot, though that working depends on the OEM putting the MS keys for non-Windows in the firmware, as far as I know, and I would again be surprised (shocked, really) if MS had put this into their products. MS wants you locked in to MS Windows more than any other maker, naturally. Any other OEM wants to serve the needs of the customer, but as we've seen lately, MS only wants to serve the needs of MS.
