I just got a new Thinkpad and went through this.  The only extra step I
had for installing Fedora was that the UEFI settings had the "Microsoft
3rd-party OS" certificate for Secure Boot disabled by default - went
into the settings and enabled that, and then the Fedora installer would
run.

Also, after installing Fedora (which made GRUB the default UEFI boot
option), booting Windows from GRUB gave an error because of the
Bitlocker disk encryption and measured boot.  I had to enter the key
(logged in to my mandatory MS account to get it, I think you can also
copy it to a USB drive from within Windows first) to get it to boot, and
then it adjusted the security to handle booting from GRUB (with no error
or key entry) after that.
