It is after all Friday the 13th. Nevertheless, surgery left the old NUC battered and bruised, but working fine again, with VoidLinux.
The cheapo-beapo n150 started up without a hitch, with Slackware Current Mate. Gentoo dwm and Slackeroni KDE still solid as a rock.
My pants are on properly in one go.
I promise I won't tamper with any of them today, after 4 days of messing about.

I am not an expert on this; I have no special knowledge whatever.
Nevertheless, it's my opinion that the future of drone warfare cannot be first-person-view drones, because such drones require near-continuous real-time comms, and any channel over which comms can be transmitted can be jammed or hacked by the enemy.
So future drones will need to be, essentially, sealed boxes, with their target's identifying characteristics and general location set before launch.
