Not really, so long as you understand the disk partitioning. What you
want to do is the following. (The same procedure also works for Debian
(of course), CentOS 7, and probably lots of other distros.)

Please allow me to amend some of the partitioning details concerning Linux dual-booting;

1) clean "GPT"-type disk partition table; 2) create 01 300MB partition of type "FAT32" with flag "ESP" to mount point " /boot/efi "; 3) create 01 partition of type "linux swap" with size equal to your RAM amount or a maximum "size cap" of 4GB (up to discussion); 4) create 01 partition of type "ext4" with size adequate to your Linux desktop ("up2you") to mount point " / ".

Search for download of "GParted Live USB" and create your setup environment under a stick for these steps. Not least, certify that your computer BIOS isn't in "legacy"-mode. And that's the "just enough" modern Linux partitioning for you. Thank you.
