ASRock Industrial NUC BOX-255H Running Linux: Stable Diffusion - LinuxLinks
This is a series of articles looking at the ASRock Industrial NUC BOX-255H running Linux. In this series, I examine every aspect of this Mini PC in detail from a Linux perspective.
The barebone machine was supplied by ASRock Industrial, a respected Taiwanese manufacturer of computer hardware including AI Box computers and embedded motherboards.
One of the NUC’s aspects that makes it interesting is its GPU and NPU capabilities. The machine has the Intel Arc 140T, the iGPU used in the Intel Arrow Lake H/HX processor series. It’s quite a powerful integrated graphics setup. It shares the system DDR5 memory, it has 1024 cores, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. It also has 128 tensor cores, and 8 ray tracing cores.
In the series, I’m going to explore the GPU capabilities of the machine covering AI and gaming. Let’s start with deep learning.
Stable Diffusion is a deep learning text-to-image diffusion model capable of generating photo-realistic images given any text input. In seconds you can create stunning artwork. Stable Diffusion uses a kind of diffusion model, called a latent diffusion model.

DF-SHOW - Directory File Show - LinuxLinks
DF-SHOW (Directory File Show) is a Unix-like rewrite of some of the applications from Larry Kroeker’s DF-EDIT (Directory File Editor) for MS-DOS and PC-DOS systems, based on the Version 2.3d release from 1986.
The show application lets users view the names of files and directories on a disk with information about the files. Files can be copied, moved, viewed, and edited (in your system’s default editor). The application is run using the show command. The output is similar to the ls command. A file view is also included which can be invoked using the sf command.
