@ashceryth I installed the alpha version (8.3) on a Intel RNUC12WSKI70000 a few months ago without any issue. Worked like a charm, no custom mods needed. When the official 8.3 release is available I will reinstall from scratch just to make sure its still compatible/working.
Better to use the supported hardware of course but I like the sizes of the NUC's 
Edit: I need to look into the hybrid part of the question. I'm not familiar with this at the moment so not sure what the implications are from that standpoint. Anyway, seems like the experts above already provided an answer on this one.
