Yes, I have heard that Mint 18+ has incorporated rEFInd into their OS and all seems to be well for UEFI dual boots with Windows 10 on mid-dated hardware (not older than P4 and not newer than early I7 I think this means) Not so much for Ubu LTS without rEFInd, but UEFI issues are beginning to be resolved for Linux in general.

From what I've seen, most of the major linux distributions now seem to come with UEFI support (and have done for a while) though Zorin seems to be one of the few that don't. Hopefully, UEFI/Secure Boot support will start being part of the LL4 distribution releases to assist those with newer PCs to dual-boot more easily with Windows OS, but obviously will leave that one up to Jerry to decide.
I always smile when I see your initials - TC. It reminds me of the American cartoon series 'Top Cat' I used to watch on TV many decades ago, which I'm sure you know of...
