It’s got a 32-bit UEFI Bootloader which isn’t Linux friendly. Just like most compute sticks. I think even the Intel Compute Stick with Linux on it was limited to Ubuntu 12.04...

I spent an afternoon once getting Linux to run on the Lenovo stick and an HP Stream 7. I returned them because I don't ever want to have to do that again. I can't even picture using one of these on a daily basis.

Yeah, not sure why the higher capacity variant isn't that good bang for buck. If it included Win 10 Pro at that price point, I'd be all over it.

Particularly, to be used to connect to DaaS.
