Maybe annnoying/DDoSing the sloppy vendor with all the different variations of things they broke with that helpful check (like, "I've tried these Linux distributions: [liiiist] and not a single one [but RHEL] worked after successful installation in UEFI mode while all of these work on an [HP/SONY/ASUS item]")...

That takes hardware and patience though, no use to cheat.
