I never saw UEFI/manufacturers blocking it. Maybe on a laptop or prebuilt system. But otherwise you are in control.

Lenovo blocked their users from installing anything that is not Windows 10 by using a RAID mode that requires a special driver for Windows that is not availiable on Linux. Also some lock Secure Boot, but that is very uncommon. I am running Arch on an ASUS Laptop with UEFI and runs perfectly, only had to disable Secure Boot
You know, unless they use a proprietary disk connector (instead of SATA/NVMe), you could just, you know, wipe the disk.
