I got my Haswell i3 NUC yesterday, just got around tonight to install Linux Mint and XBMC on it.
It does seem like the IR receiver doesn't work in linux, /dev/lirc0 is not created. I hooked up the HP IR receiver I used with my former HTPC, that works just fine.
I have a bit of an issue with getting sound to work though, setting it to HDMI 5.1 works fine with music, but playing an mkv file made the sound crackle, and the video stuttered. When I set it to HDMI stereo it works fine though, I'm going to have to look into that more.
