I guess the main difference is whether you install Fedora as a dual boot
next to macOS (semi-supported with Boot Camp – they don't really support
anything other than Windows, but it will not void your warranty) or whether
you wipe macOS and install Fedora on the whole disk. I assume that the
latter is more likely to lead to them refusing to service the machine,
though I don't know anybody who tried that.
