I was actually planing to run single VM on it (as discussed deeper in my other post here Intel NUC vs Laptop for (single) VM running OpenHab and other automation related services)
That way I can easily backup entire system, because I am quite clumsy. Although I love Ansible deployment as Rich suggested on that other post. I use it on my workstation on virtual machines to test things out.
@Kim_Andersen not sure why in norway price difference is 80e between the two (ram is almost the same, few euros there as well). I will sleep on it
P.S. you should try Virtualisation if you never did, just spin some vagrant machine on your desktop and see how you like it, ability to take snapshots and rebuilt machine in 60s when testing is priceless for me (probably because I do not know what I am doing with linux, so most of the time I am just guessing)
