I have the same motherboard, CPU, and RAM. Zero issues, ethernet, wifi,
bluetooth, everything worked out of the box when I tried it with Ubuntu.

I already have an Intel SSD, but the m.2 port is appealing and I'll
eventually get something to populate it with.

I'm waiting for RAM to come down in price - my only regret now is that
it has just 2 slots, so I can't add another 16GB.

Cheers, Jamon
