Duel booting with windows 8

[chaosgodkarl]

I've read that the installer pretty much handles everything when it comes to windows 8. Last time I tried, which was about 6 months? ago, it didn't recognize ubuntu, I had tried to modify stuff, and it worked for a while, but then my windows 8 glitched and I had to restore it to factory settings.

I have a dell HP Envy dv6 notebook with windows 8 - 64 bit. If I run the ubuntu installer is to dual boot, will it work fine with secureboot enabled / EFI mode / etc? not requiring anything special?

It depends. There still are issues with Ultrabooks that use Intel SRT as it is a non-standard RAID.
And each vendor has implemented UEFI differently even though it is a standard.
Some do install without much issue, others with some issues and one or two only work in BIOS/CSM mode where then on every reboot you have to boot from UEFI menu and turn on or off UEFI/secure boot/CSM.
