Sounds like a right to repair argument. It will lose. Try putting linux on a windows-10 laptop. That BIOS is nailed down hard. It can be done but its a right PITA

Can you elaborate? I bought a ThinkPad early this year. It probably had Windows 11 (didn't check, wiped it immediately) and it works fine?

I don't doubt that there are laptops where it is hard, but I would love to hear some examples and in what way the UEFI firmware is nailed down such that you cannot install Linux?

It's easy to put Linux on a Windows 10 laptop. You must be holding it wrong.
