Hello everyone,
I wanted to purchase a Kaby Lake i5 NUC (upgrading from a Haswell NUC), but after reading about it I found too many issues with it.
If I wanted to use a NUC with Linux (to act as a home server, too) and be able to output 4K60/HDR and multi-channel audio via HDMI it would be better to wait for Intel to release fixes for Linux / wait for new NUCs altogether? I'd also like a little future proofing (HLG/HDR10+).
AFAIK what works only works for Windows. Also, being able to update the firmware via Windows only surprises me. There's a visual bios, how hard would it be to update from there?
