Installation & EFI

Hi all.
Where do I find a Fedora distro with EFI ?
In here cos heard & read that Fedora supports EFI boot.
I set wrongfully up my Macbook 2,1 OSX 10.6.8 (2007) x86-64 with Debian 32bit. 
Because 32bit gets outdated and bnasically is wrong for the computer, I wanted 64bit.
But of some reason the computer only opens distros with EFI, like Bionic Pupp x86-64.
Fedora version I found only shows up a "Windows" cd image, no "EFI" cd image on the (right) side of it.
Heard that EFI is a boot installer, but unpopular because it comes (for free, but copyrighted(?)) from Microsoft(, & probably can't be changed).
Thus most installers in the end (e.g Refracta, in Devuan) claim the need of Grub, where to place Grub. Destroying all the installation work done.
This, due to my low knowledge, has made my computer unusable from the hard disk, only from RAM using a live Bionicpup x86-64 dvd. A friend said he was able to UEFI install Fedora. Checked online, found article that claimed Fedora as one distro supporting EFI in installing. But my computer can only open a distro with EFI image; no EFI gives only a blinking ? sign or a black irresponsive screen with: 1.  2.  Boot option
I write this from my work computer. The EX Mac /Linux machine is needed 'only' for private; entertainment, friendly online contact, and writing.
