I have a NUC 7 that isn’t being used for anything so I’d like to put Linux and Docker on it. Can anyone recommend a Linux distro that will provide the best hardware support?

    Debian, always debian for server type things, BUT, it might be more versatile to put VMware ESXi on it. (or Proxmox)

    https://github.com/itiligent/ESXi-Custom-ISO

    This repo has working scripts to inject into the ESXi installer ISO with all the drivers you need to get your NUC running as a virutalization host. (Recently VMware was aquired and all the community driver sites were taken down, so other online build tools stopped working)

    I run a homlab with a cluster of ESXi NUCS , its just sooooo useful especially when developing code for differnt platforms or just quickly learning things and tinkering about.
