Contrary to what Google AI reported, ROCK will not run on a NUC 15 Pro. I tried every suggested BIOS setting, and even tried installing a SSD with ROCK already installed. Couldn’t get past the GRUB loader.
I ended up installing a headless Windows 11 Pro operating system. Roon seems to be running fine on it.
@Allan_Stein . I was able to solve this with a NUC 14. I am of high confidence that it would work for you by disabling all Intel BIOS security settings.
Please see my post here detailing the process:

That’s fantastic news, thank you so much for sharing your successful experience! This is very encouraging.
My idea of build is based on the slightly newer model, the ASUS NUC 15 Pro+. I was wondering if, after the installation on your NUC 15 Pro, everything is working as you would expect. For example, was the network controller recognized immediately? Is the system stable, and have you run into any issues?
Theoretically, the core driver differences between the Pro and the Pro+ shouldn’t be that significant, but given how new the hardware is, getting your direct confirmation would be incredibly helpful.
At the moment i’m still using an old NUC for ROCK. I just got a new Asus NUC at work that we use for presentations. Since i want to upgrade my server i wanted to test it to see if it’s working with ROCK. Network was recognized immediately and i could stream Qobuz.
AFAIK there is no hardware difference between the 15 Pro and 15 Pro+. It’s just the case, cooling and the CPU options. Chipset, WiFi, Bluetooth is the same.
