Also, let me state that many machines who'd be UEFI capable on
paper
are *not*: in my experience, many early UEFI machines (2009 up to
2014) have a very buggy implementation, to the point of being
unusable and/or a terrible experience.
One add to that: just because a system has UEFI doesn't mean it supports
all the same boot methods equally. I do a lot of network installs, and
early UEFI systems I tried had broken PXE support (not sure when this
may have changed, as I then didn't try for a while).
Setting up a UEFI PXE boot server is (in my experience) more
complicated. UEFI also supports HTTP boot, which is an improvement (the
sooner TFTP can die the better), but it's not a widespread (or at least,
sometimes not as easy to call).
