As far as I am aware all the *buntu 18.04 64bit ISOs should incorporate UEFI support. I'm also pretty sure that recent Linux Mint ISOs (certainly 18.x) would have UEFI support.
Quote:I may not have to create a swap partition.
*buntu 18.04 defaults to creating a swap file on the boot drive, akin to the swap file on Windows, for new installs. In my opinion and experience some provision for swap space is prudent; a swap file is better than no swap space at all, and on most recent hardware perfectly adequate for desktop usage.
