I'm not aware of any "Windows only UEFI", and given that UEFI defines
a standard method by which the OS can interact with the firmware, if
such a thing did exist, you couldn't call it UEFI!
I've just switched jobs so should have more free time on Monday
evenings now. I can pop along to the next meeting and take a look at
your laptop if you're still interested in getting Linux working with
UEFI?
