You can either disable Secure Boot (part of the UEFI specification,
not a proprietary extension) and simply boot any UEFI system, or you
can get installers for Ubuntu and Fedora that are Secure
Boot-enabled and be able to take advantage of the security benefits
which entail (proof that the boot loader and kernel are "legit" is
useful even on Linux systems).<br>
<br>
That said, any compliant firmware should have the ability to disable
Secure Boot right out of the box. If you want a board that doesn't
have secure boot, I can recommend the 970A-G46 from MSI, which I
have been using for a while now. I don't know if you can get it
anymore, actually, but if you can, it runs Fedora just fine. (I
haven't used Ubuntu in long enough that I don't know about it on
this system.) BSD systems also seem to boot and run just fine on
it, though not with all of the board's functionality enabled.<br>
