With Paul's kind permission I am posting a request for help
installing Ubuntu Mate on a new Lenovo with Windows 10. I think I am
close but can't quite seem to get there so if any one might be able
to help me I would greatly appreciate it. My email is jorogi.shaw at
gmail.com <http://gmail.com>

Thanks,
John Rogi
Do you have a BIOS or UEFI John? That is usually the key. Probably
UEFI.
"As a practical matter, if you're using an OS like Linux that has
complex BIOS-mode boot loaders, EFI-mode booting is likely to be
similar to BIOS-mode booting, since GRUB 2 (the most popular
BIOS-mode boot loader for Linux) has been ported to work under EFI,
and many Linux distributions install GRUB 2 by default on EFI
systems. OTOH, you can replace or supplement GRUB 2 with other EFI
boot loaders. Indeed, the Linux kernel itself can be an EFI boot
loader; code was added to do this with the 3.3.0 kernel. Used in
this way, the EFI itself loads and runs the Linux kernel, or you can
use a third-party boot manager like rEFInd
or gummiboot to let you select which OS
or kernel to boot."
