Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to Linux and I'm trying to install Ubuntu without using a bootloader. I attempted some commands like `sudo apt update` followed by `sudo apt install ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-gtk`, and then used `sudo ubiquity --no-bootloader`, but it didn't work, nor did `ubiquity -b`. I've got Windows 7 as my main operating system and I'm using legacy boot. Any tips or workaround for this?

Honestly, even Windows operates with a bootloader, so trying to avoid it might complicate things. Maybe consider installing Ubuntu with its bootloader and then you can remove it later or restore your existing bootloader instead. It's a smoother process than going without one from the start.
You could try a manual installation using `debootstrap`. It’s a more DIY approach, but some folks find it easier. There's a blog post that details a similar process – you might want to check it out! It's called 'Minimal Ubuntu Installation with debootstrap.' Just a little heads up, it might be quite different than a standard install!
