Suggestion to anyone that is listening in this empty forum…
Have OEM CL installed on all NUCs that ship with an SSD without a Windows license.
AKA have a reseller agreement that states any NUC sold with storage but without an operating system license is to have Clear Linux preinstalled.
At the very least it raises awareness of this OS which, as far as I can tell, still “feels” the fastest on the majority of my devices.
