How are you installing Linux?  In a VM?  What virtualization system are you 
using?

*Linux* itself does not need Hyper-V, but maybe (?) the virtualization system 
you are using wants it (don't know why that would be either).  Maybe you 
selected a wrong option?

I've installed Linux both on the bare metal and in VMs (with a Linux host), 
never needed Hyper-V, just fairly garden varity processors. I do know that 
when my VM hosting machine boots up and starts the virtualization, it notes 
that Hyper-V is not available and notes that the Hyper-V kernel modules are 
not loaded.  This is just informative and has no other effect.
