https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825112.aspx The dual-boot HP little notebook I am using right now to answer your question was factory installed with Windows 8, has migrated to Windows 10 and still enters at boot in UEFI management mode by pressing a Fn key (probably F9, I don't remember) > I'm looking to buy a new notebook to put a custom install of Linux on > with as few problems as possible.

If your only gripe with Fedora is the 6 months release circle, you could be interested in CentOS which nowadays is essentially a Red Hat trademark and their free-of-charge-with-no-support version of RHEL. And an advantage of RHEL/CentOS from version 7 on, that could be valuable to you, is its ability to boot in Secure Mode.
