When I boot my Macbook now I get the rEFInd loader screen with three icons. The whole process takes a few hours, but it works perfectly. Basically, we start the Bootcamp process, then install Ubuntu, then finish the Bootcamp Windows installation. Windows still works best when installed via Bootcamp, and this requires that it be installed both first and last, but we can get around that too. As for the boot loader, the rEFInd bootloader (a spin-off of rEFIt) does recognize Ubuntu.
Yosemite declares the OSX partition to be "core storage" (I don't even know what that means), but that designation can be removed easily. The combination of Yosemite and the 2015 hardware introduce two new problems: one, Yosemite doesn't think users should be allowed to resize partitions manually and, two, the 2015 Macbook's bootloader doesn't seem to recognize Ubuntu at all. I was pretty sure there must be an easy way to install all three on a single Macbook, and I was right.

I found a few detailed instructions around the web on how to run Yosemite, Windows 8, and Ubuntu on one machine, but they all involve significant terminal work and partition juggling, and I was looking for something a bit more straight forward, a bit cleaner. I bought a Macbook Pro a while back which runs OSX 10.10 Yosemite out of the box, and that introduces a few new hurdles. I've written about triple booting Macbooks before, but the process has changed recently.
