Everyone:
Does anyone have experience with installing Fedora on a NUC?
In case anyone here doesn't know what a NUC is: it happens to stand for Next Unit of Computing. It is a 5.4 x 4.9 x 4.5-/inch/ box having the minimal number of components to support desktop functions. You equip it with your own hard drive, keyboard, mouse, etc., and can drive up to a 4K Ultra-style monitor. Some people use its VESA mount to mount it on the back of their TV. Result: instant smart TV--smarter than any TV in the store, because it can handle word processing and regular Web apps in addition to video and audio streaming.
Word is that it normally ships with Windows 10, but can support any number of distributions of Linux. I want to know whether Fedora is one of them.
It sounds like the ideal small office/media lab/home theater solution. Pair it with a good NAS and you have all the computing power you need, with a fraction of the physical--and carbon--footprint.
Comments? Suggestions? Success stories? Horror stories?

Yes, I've have Fedora running on a bunch of NUCs - 4 of them. I started with F21 and they are all now running F26-beta.

It does not ship with storage which you have to get separately. So, you can essentially install anything.

Highly recommended. It is nice and quiet and does the job. I am using one of them as a NAS with 6 USB3 drives plugged in via a USB3 hub.

I have run F22, F23, and F24 on an older NUC. It came without any OS, but at the time I bought it I needed it to run Windows. Now it dual-boots, but I rarely boot Windows anymore. I've been considering getting a 2nd NUC to run MythTV.
Runs great. My only comment is to pay attention to which hdmi port you use - I ended up using port 2 instead of 1, and had to adjust things within KDE to get it working right.

NUCS are not cheap :( They range in price from 400+ to just under 600 smackers.

Maybe NUCs are not cheap, but it all depends on what bells and whistles you buy with them.
One thing everyone agrees on, is: you can mount them a good deal less obtrusively in a home-theater setup, /and/ they consume far less power.
I'm thinking of pairing one of them with an already-smart TV. That way, I can have access to full Internet anytime I want to.
I'm also thinking of tying in an external optical drive--specifically a DVD. (Linux does not do Blu-ray yet, more's the pity. Anyone have any idea when that will happen?)
If I can somehow manage to get a fresh copy of the old libdvdcss package, then maybe I can build a device that can act as a regionless DVD player.
Living as I do in the USA, I have mostly Region 1 DVDs and Region A Blu-rays. But I just happen to have a collection of an old 1980s TV series from Australia--issued in Germany. That, of course, is in Region 2. Now I can get a regionless DVD and Blu-ray player, /or/ I can get a NUC, equip it with an HDD and a DVD/CD player, install Fedora, and somehow find my libdvdcss.rpm and libdvdcss2.rpm files, transfer them over, and install them. (Anyone who can help me find a no-longer-distributed package on one machine for transfer to another, would be doing me a really big favor.) The second alternative would likely cost the same amount of money--but would get me more bang for my buck.
Though I do have one other alternative--maybe. A wild idea. Could I disassemble this desktop, take the HDD, mount that in a NUC, and get an external DVD to go with it?
Just gathering information.

I don't know about playing them, but I'm sure I remember finding a tool that could rip them to a mkv file (a big mkv file, mind you). You could then play the mkv.

Does this tool work with studio-issued Blu-ray discs? Aren't such discs copy-protected?

All right! Where do I get that tool?
I have a Western Digital MyCloud Pro PR4100 NAS device, where I store all my video files. Matroska Video works well with that setup. I can even "upload" a big file to the NAS using a Web interface.

I don't think I remember the name at the moment. I'm pretty sure it came up first thing when I googled "rip blu-ray on linux".
if you're inquiring about "makemkv", as I mentioned earlier, here is a site that tells you how to install it on Fedora Linux. Note that I have not followed the directions on this site, so I can't vouch for them. (right now I can't find the bookmark I had made to the place where I got the instructions I did use.)
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-makemkv-on-fedora-linux
One thing they don't tell you about is needing a registration key to actually make it work.
The bookmark I seem to have lost showed where to go to get a key for current beta versions. Dang, I'm gonna need that soon.
Or you can go to makemkv.com and buy a license. I think it's forty bucks.
Despite these obstacles, the tool works great (at least for DVD, I haven't used it for BluRay, not having either any BluRay movies, or a suitable drive.)

I'm compiling on Centos 7 and there are a couple of compilation errors that need to be fixed. Solutions were easy to find by googling for the full error string. Shout if you need help with them.
follow instructions at that page for compiling and installing.
go to this page to get a temporary registration key:

How am I supposed to install the required dependencies using a method more appropriate to Debian or Ubuntu, when I'm using Fedora?
I don't do apt-get. I need an rpm command. Where is it? How can I be sure that I have installed the dependencies that other method requires?
Also: must I recompile with every new release of Fedora? Fedora 26 is coming out any day now. Must I wait?

You use dnf. The package names will be different (Fedora's development packages use "-devel" instead of "-dev" and they're packaged differently.
I don't do apt-get. I need an rpm command. Where is it? How can I be sure that I have installed the dependencies that other method requires?
You install what you think you need via dnf, then you try to build it. If the configure or build steps puke, you look at the messages and figure out what packages you need to install to clean that up. Based on what Ubuntu seems to need, my guess is you'd need to:
sudo dnf install gcc pkg-config gcc-c++-c6x-linux-gnu gcc-c6x-linux-gnu openssl-devel expat-devel libavc1394-devel mesa-libGL-devel qwt5-qt4-devel
That's JUST a guess. There's no clear relationship on the libavcodec and libgl1-mesa packages and Fedora uses qt5.
Also: must I recompile with every new release of Fedora? Fedora 26 is coming out any day now. Must I wait?
That's up to you. I doubt this will be part of the Fedora universe due to the licensing issues, you'll need to build it yourself or convince someone at Fedora or rpmfusion to maintain a package for it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - I'm telling you that the kernel is stable not because it's a - - kernel, but because I refuse to listen to arguments like this. - - -- Linus Torvalds - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

That pkg-config package doesn't appear to exist. I had to cut that out of the command before it would execute. When I did that, I did manage to install several more dependencies. Now unless I hear anything from anybody on what pkg-config is renamed to these days, I consider I'm ready to download those tarballs and start building.

You are correct, of course. What's more, I already had the package installed.
For the benefit of everyone still following this thread, I was in fact able to compile, make, and install the program makemkv. Thus far I've tried it on a few studio DVD discs. Only one of them gave me a problem--I suspect I will find the particular title unplayable by reason of poor quality control at the factory where they stamped out the disc. Everything else I've tried to rip so far, has worked.
The next test will be to do that with a Blu-ray. From what I read, you need the key--or will after this month is out, since the program is still in beta--to rip a Blu-ray but not necessarily a DVD.
I'd say this option replaces the old libdvdcss. After all, if I can rip it, I can then play it again and again.
Thanks to everyone for your help.

I've used it for multiple DVDs, and it won't work without the key.
haven't used it, myself, for bluray, as I don't have a bluray drive. My son has one and he has used it, but on Win7, not LInux.

there are two links on one of those pages where you can download directly the two .tgz files you need to do the build.
AFAIK the makemkv folks do not provide binaries for linux because it is too much work to keep track of all the various distros. But they do make the pieces you need available.
so, assuming a F25 binary doesn't workon F26, then yes, I suppose you would need to recompile.

Generally speaking, stuff built on old fedora will usually work on new fedora (don't try to build on new fedora and run on old though).
This usually only breaks when some library is declared evil due to some security bug and only a higher version is available any longer.

around to trying to burn any kind of disc with it yet.... But it plays/rips DVDs fine, and I had some small success playing/ripping older Blu-Ray discs.

NUCS are not cheap :( They range in price from 400+ to just under 600 smackers.
It was cheaper than the Netgear media device it replaced, does more, and
can be upgraded as needed.

Everyone:
Does anyone have experience with installing Fedora on a NUC?
In case anyone here doesn't know what a NUC is: it happens to stand for Next Unit of Computing. It is a 5.4 x 4.9 x 4.5-/inch/ box having the minimal number of components to support desktop functions. You equip it with your own hard drive, keyboard, mouse, etc., and can drive up to a 4K Ultra-style monitor. Some people use its VESA mount to mount it on the back of their TV. Result: instant smart TV--smarter than any TV in the store, because it can handle word processing and regular Web apps in addition to video and audio streaming.
Word is that it normally ships with Windows 10, but can support any number of distributions of Linux. I want to know whether Fedora is one of them.
It sounds like the ideal small office/media lab/home theater solution. Pair it with a good NAS and you have all the computing power you need, with a fraction of the physical--and carbon--footprint.
Comments? Suggestions? Success stories? Horror stories?

I run F25 in a MSI Cubi (i5-5200U 2,20Ghz). Everything works out the box.
I am successfully using a NUC with CentOS 7 KDE, so there should not be problems with Fedora
