I have been installing Linux on computers for more than 10 years and I have never encountered a computer that is less compatible with Linux than this. Even the crummy Partaker computers from China that try to block Linux are better than this. I notice reviews of people using Linux with these, I don't know how they are managing.Apparently there is a version of Ubuntu something LTS, and if you install that exact version, it will work. I don't want to use Ubuntu LTS, so that doesn't help me. I want a computer that works with any version of Linux. This doesn't.Normally Linux doesn't require installing drivers to get Ethernet, Audio, and Video working properly. Tried Linux Mint on this and the video was misconfigured, the screen resolution is locked, the ethernet port is not detected and doesn't work, and there is no audio hardware detected.I refuse to deal with hardware like this. I'm sending mine back.Google about people being unable to get ethernet and audio detected with these Intel NUCs. Rather than shipping a standard ethernet port, Intel actually has drivers on their website for Linux for this machine, which they expect you to manually build and install. Absolutely stupid. Meanwhile, you can plug any regular USB to Ethernet adapter into it and Linux instantly connects to the net, no driver needed. This goes to show that Intel is building hardware that, out of the box, doesn't support Linux. Why?When attempting to update the BIOS, the BIOS couldn't read a ext4 formatted USB. Had to reformat the USB to NTFS just to get the BIOS to be able to read the USB. Couldn't install from external USB CD-ROM drive, the installer just hung. Then discovered that the BIOS on my computer was later than the latest BIOS on the Intel website. Not sure how that is possible.But why bother buying a computer that is going to fight you on your Linux installation when 95% of the other computers in the world are painless? Avoid!
