PowerSpec B943 and Linux: will I have trouble with the cooler? (or anything else?)

I'm considering the PowerSpec B943 (https://www.microcenter.com/product/678547/powerspec-b943-desktop-computer) and I'd run a mainstream Linux distro on it. I've never had a liquid cooler before. Are these coolers a category of hardware that doesn't play well with Linux OSes? Or will the board's UEFI take care of controlling it, without running fans and pumps too fast and generating undue noise? Note: I wouldn't consider a machine where I have to install software that isn't in the OS repositories. I'd also want to disconnect the LEDs.

I did find this question here from 2020 that has some relevant info:

https://community.microcenter.com/discussion/3071/liquid-cooling-for-a-linux-desktop

But, has the answer changed since then?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
