I'm looking to buy a new laptop or desktop this year and was wondering if I should buy a computer with windows 8? I see that every Ubuntu user that has bought a windows 8 laptop that they are having the worst time getting windows 8 removed from the hard drive. I don't want windows at all on my computer I can't stand that greedy corporation, I just want a new computer that is easy to install Ubuntu and totally erase windows. Can someone help me please?????

Well, to start off with the main issue is that Windows 8 computers have "Secure Boot" and "UEFI". If your computer has the Bios options to enable Legacy Boot and disable Secure Boot then you should be able to easily install any Linux Distro. Refer to these for more information:
