Any Astra Experiences?

I ordered an Astra about five weeks ago. Received it this weekend. Unfortunately, it won’t boot. Maybe something got knocked loose in shipping. I reached out to support, so hopefully they can get me fixed up.

In the meantime, I was curious if anybody else has ordered an Astra and what their experience has been so far. Thanks!

Edit: Support helped me out! Apparently it takes forever to get to a point of any graphical output. As in, you may need to wait 10-15 minutes. I now have Debian 12.8 running on my machine without issues. Sees all 128 cores and 512 GB RAM.

I wrote up some first impressions and a few configuration wrinkles I ran into installing Debian.
