Note

The Intel® Product Compatibility Tool lists non-Windows operating system versions that are reported as compatible by Intel NUC users. Intel hasn't validated these operating systems. We recommend you use the latest kernel.

If you need assistance with Linux* on an Intel NUC, check our Linux* Support for Intel® NUC article or your distributor's website and forums for peer assistance.

To find SKUs by codename, enter the code name into https://ark.intel.com. Then locate the Processor family in the NUC for use in the table below.

If a platform is not found in the Core generation section, it may be in the Pentium/Celeron sections.
