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)

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.
