Looking for a distro that might work on the Gigabyte BRIX we just picked up. It's a GB-BSi5-6200. So far I've tried OpenSuSE (Stable and Tumbleweed) & Ubuntu (as well as FreeBSD & ReactOS), but none of them will complete a boot. Crashes real quick in the process. Graphical menu comes up, select install, sometimes get a line of text, sometimes just black screen and it freezes up.
Windows works fine, but we don't want Windows. :-)
I looked this BRIX up, you should be OK with Gentoo testing, don't be afraid of testing thingie, it runs rock solid. It is called testing because there may be occasional build problems. In short, as soon as you unpack stage 3 switch over to ~amd64 and you will be OK.
Distribution: Debian 8 Cinnamon/Xfce/gnome classic Debian live usb

I only say this because I was interested in trying out an Intel CPU with fairly decent integrated graphics so I wouldn't need to get a separate graphics card.

Skylake Graphics was announced 01.09.2015.
Correction: 6th generation came out Q3 2015. Yes, Intel has the driver, but you do not expect an older driver to work on newer hardware?
If you are not completing a boot then I suspect it isn't the version of linux. You might benefit from a 4.X kernel but I rather doubt you need it to run. Freezing isn't normally associated with outdated kernel in my opinion. Could be of course but I'd wonder why so many failed.
