the nuc had a very tiny window where it was an interesting idea but these days you can get a stick-puter to do what you were probably going to do with the nuc

i'm legit amazed by that though. I wonder if it only has one ram slot? in which case dual channel isn't even being used which is double the lols

even if it only had 1 ram slot there are 16gb sticks. its probably all soldered to the mobo

If you go through Microsoft you can get them with only the OS installed, guaranteed no bloatware.

(if i have a valid windows key i can set up a vm right? i have no clue how nonfree images are handled in virtualbox)

gaming works nicely with linux too, the only caveat that i know of that is still there, is that you have to either log off/log on or reboot to switch on the nvidia card when you plan on gaming anything. it'll work without such measures when they finish working on that server side glvnd solution. but seriously, the linux gaming catalogue is large and getting larger every day, and wine is getting so good that you can play gta 5 with it
