Ohhhhhhh!
That lets me back in. I thought it was one of these new, Windows10
certificate "secure boot off-switch is optional" mobos, lacking a secure

You don't know whether the NUC can also accommodate MBR boots, do you?
All other things being equal, when I install Linux on a computer whose
root partition drive is less than 2TB, I go MBR every chance I get.
