I use a Intel Skull Canyon NUC6i7KYK as a Linux workstation since the end of 2018.

Configuration:

• 32Gig RAM
• 2x m.2 drives (1Gig each)
• Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon
• 2 Displays at 2560x1440:
  • 1x HDMI
  • 1x USB-C to HDMI

Pro:

• easy assembly, just install RAM and drives
• Linux works out of the box, no issues
• plenty of power for day to day operations
• small form factor, tiny case, easy to hide

Contra:

• noisy CPU fan, spins up as soon load increases
• CPU fan needs cleaning every 6-12 months
• Wifi/Bluetooth antenna below main board
• not your gaming PC

Recommendation:

If you don’t want to mess around with hardware and building a PC: yes. It works. If you know you get easily offended by the noise of a high pitching fan, don’t buy it. Build your own workstation in a case with plenty of airflow. The price would be about the same, excluding assembly time and shipping costs for all the parts.
