Hi all.

I have just bought a NUC 8i5 that I will setup as a dual boot windows/linux machine. I'm planning on using Kstars/Ekos as a local AP control rig when in Linux.
This is my first time doing it with a NUC (used a RPI4 in the past with stellarmate)

Anything I specific I need to know? Anything I wish you knew before doing this?
Things like what is the best version of Ubuntu to install to play nice with Kstars/Ekos, will Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS be the one?
Is it as straight forward as installing Kstars from the software centre? Will all the indi drivers be installed along side Kstars with this method?
When dual booting, I will get a dual boot splash screen to select Ubuntu or windows.. Can I set it up to auto boot to linux? Since I will be remotting into the NUC I don;t really want to go out, plug a keyboard into the NUC to just press entre to get to linux everytime..

Thanks for your advice in advance!
