As a counterbalance, I bought an Intel NUC about eight months ago. Linux did not work out of the box, and it required a confusing process of installing a BIOS update before it would boot. After that, it worked OK, with the exception of the IR port, which required a lot of command line tweaking. I was surprised that a modern computer like a NUC wouldn't work with Linux out of the box.
