I'm not familiar with NUCs, So I dont know if that affects anything.. but I've been playing Starfield since it unlocked on Linux, so theres no issue with at least the linux part if that helps you with anything.
That's good to know. I mentioned the nuc because its not a gaming machine. I am able to play some stuff on it but its not a powerhouse. It is utilitarian for me. Budgets, bills, banking, videos, programming, etc.
