Yes. That blog post (Which describes the process for Zorin OS), and how to install on UEFI hardware can also be applied to Ubuntu, since Zorin OS is based on Ubuntu, and the installation process is the same.

That guide, for all intents and purposes, will work pretty well with Ubuntu, as Zorin is based on Ubuntu.

However, if you already have Zorin OS installed but want to switch to Ubuntu, it's much easier.

When you're going through your install procedure, make sure to select Something else when asked about partitioning. From there, select the partition that Zorin was installed on (ext4), and format it. Set the mount point to / and everything will work just fine.
