5th generation NUC?

Don't forget the Gigabyte Brix as an alternative. Comes with wifi and bluetooth included unlike the Nuc AFAIK.

The new Broadwell NUCs come with WiFi and Bluetooth. Seems like there's very little to choose between them spec-wise apart from IR receiver and mini vs full HDMI port.

Anyone got Kodi running off Ubuntu or another Linux distro with the latest NUC? If so is everything working well? I'm on a trial key for Windows 8.1 and I don't fancy paying for it.

Only really using it for Kodi and YouTube so I think Ubuntu would suffice.

Never mind, got Ubuntu working on it, seems fine so far.

Had a few issues with Ubuntu, mainly no sound when waking up from sleep and constant 'your system has recovered from a serious error' or something like that.

Put Mint on last night, great so far.
