What I always recommend is to disable UEFI in BIOS. The option you're
looking for is LEGACY BOOT/UEFI switch. Then you'll be able to set boot
order normally and install OS. I've heard that Linux supports UEFI but
it was always really painful for me to get it working. If you plan to
use Linux exclusively than LEGACY BOOT might be the easiest way to go.
