The Haswell i3/i5 NUCs are from a CPU/GPU generation before HEVC full hardware decoding was available. Put simply, they are too old.
Intel have implemented Hybrid GPU/CPU decoding for HEVC on them in Windows, which effectively offloads the bits of H265/HEVC that are similar to H264/AVC to the GPU, but the bits that are newer to the CPU. It helps a bit, but doesn't come close to the level of performance you get with full GPU decode (as newer Intel CPUs offer). However these drivers are Windows only.
