No, I am running Ubuntu. Long Story... I had FreeBSD on it at one time, no problems, just needed to have Linux for some compatibility issues.
Overnight I learned that the CMOS battery in my NUC has expired, and that was pretty much the end of the road for me and this NUC. I'm sending it to a young(er) member of the family who's expressed an interest. The thing has blossomed into a mental health issue for me. Get thee behind me, NUC!
Maybe all it needs is a new CR2032 and re-flash the BIOS. From the manual:"If the battery and AC power fail, date and time values will be reset and the user will be notified during the POST. When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate."
