   I haven't installed ubuntu fresh since 22.04 (and in a VM at that, so it   
   stays legacy boot); it saw the other OS without any problems, and I had   
   the option to install alongside.   
      
   Two major problems come to mind:   
      
     1. mixed-modes (MBR/Legacy booted live session, GPT HDD; or   
         vice-versa)   
     2. Forgot to disable bitlocker (if the other OS is windows)
