As a try, I could install a Fedora 26 - installation and runtime went fine, apparently for everything (cpu, disk, video, wifi, bluetooth, sound..). Bad luck, once back to Windows (it's a dual boot), the UEFI config lost the F26 entry, I'm good to reinstall and find how to prevent Windows to override the UEFI config. Also digging other directions..
