I have arch running on a skull canyon. What issues are you hitting, and what distro?

I installed debian buster first, it seemed to install ok but would not recognize onboard NIC, so I plugged in a USB NIC and continued, all looked normal during the install (minus the NIC) at first boot it flashed an error after the intel screen which I missed and could not see again, but then it
just booted to a command prompt, could that be a video driver issue?

Anyhow to be thorough I tried unbuntu as that distro is actually listed on intels site for previous generation NUC's, for some reason that installed and boots? It works and I can make do, I would prefer debian and I may try some
of the bios tips I have found.

What version NUC are you on and did you by chance install debian?

Possibly. I think there are a lot of assumptions here; installing debian doesn't tell the version, the type of install media (full install, minimal, netinst, etc), bios vs uefi, or what WM/DE you've selected. What GPU does
your nuc have? Mine simply has onboard intel but I think there are some with radeons built in nowadays.

The crappy thing about Ubuntu, in my opinion, is that it does all the work
for you so you don't wind up having a better understanding of what is happening. :) The positive version of this conversation is that Ubuntu stable repos are much more up to date than Debian repos, which are "release when ready" and will only get security patches for the most part between major releases.

Skull canyon 8, I should clarify (I think?) but linux will run on any one of them. They are just little intel pcs and linux will run most if not all
aspects of that hardware.

And running arch, per my comment above :)

You can check your bootup log by using dmesg it displays all boot messages
and debugging information. Your NIC problem is probably common because it
most likely uses the RealTek Chipset.. it needs to use DKMS modules to work properly. Do sudo lspci -k and look for the kernel module your NIC is trying
to use, then apt search it and it should show you a -dkms version for it

Install the DKMS module for it and reboot
