It may not be so bad.  Recently, one of our developers got a new Dell
desktop, an Optiplex ---darn, I've forgotten the model, but relatively new,
with no O/S, so he asked me to install Ubuntu on it.  

I ran the 12.04 install and grub failed to install.  The BIOS was set to
legacy.  Just out of curiosity (this wasn't an urgent thing and was
something I was doing while doing other things), I changed BIOS to UEFI and
ran the install again. It installed and booted without issue.
