    Why not? Is there a OS fundamentalist war out there that I'm not aware of?

    Beside that, is this a Linux branch of this forum or am I having hallucinations?

    Its simple to install Ubuntu and Windows 8.1 in dual boot if you that want..First,install Windows 8.1 (but before install you must verify to have enough space for both operating systems on your HDD(I have 200 GB),and then install Ubuntu(I have here Ubuntu 14.04 x64) and during install choose to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8.After reboot you will be able to chose between OS.

    Before installation, you may want to try ubuntu/mint/any distro first in "live" mode. This lets you run linux OS from a CD or usb flash drive without making any changes to your computer. With so many "flavors" of linux available, it's neat to be able to take them out for a test drive.

    Why two Ubuntu installs? Download GRUB Customizer to edit out the rogue install...

    No... always install or run from USB - not from windows - only time you need to go there is if you want to use the Windows bootloader to launch Ubuntu (via BCDEdit)...

    I think this is great subtle statement. Also the fact, most don't no how to install any OS, let alone Linux. Windows comes pre-installed on all PC's unless of course you buy a bare bones system.

    It would have been a different world if all PC's from their beginning having no OS installed, and left up to the user to install, or giving the option of their choice.

    I downloaded a copy of Ubuntu 14.04, and tried it without installing to drive. Liked the looks of it, but think I will stay on Mint. Since I like Cinnamon.
