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.
