Take the 2-minute tour ×  My intent in a very near future is to
set up a dual boot system with Windows 8 and Debian Linux (for
testing purposes) on a Lenovo Ideapad 205, that has UEFI BIOS.
I saw several articles about the new Windows 8 features
regarding faster boot on UEFI and this may cause a sort of
incompatibility with GRUB and, in general, Linux distributions.
How much is it true? In other words, could I expect some
problems when installing those OSs in the following order?    1.
Install Windows 8 on a first partition, like 50% of the HDD
size.   2. Then install Debian with GRUB2 in another partition
set, at this point GRUB2 should replace the default Windows MBR.

don't need grub when you have UEFI. UEFI is capable of selecting
the OS loader on its own. Information about how to set up Debian
on UEFI –  Marco Sep 6 '12 at 17:32 Here is a detailed guide for
