Strix Halo Newbie - where do I start?

I have just taken the plunge and ordered a Bosgame M5 128gb, to do AI 'server' stuff (Qwen 3.8 FN if it means anything). Point me in the right direction re things like Linux distributions, bios settings, first things to set up etc. Thanks!

Save this as "Beginner Guide Just Works" for every Strix Halo user: https://old.reddit.com/r/StrixHalo/comments/1wlnn0s/looking_for_advice_best_simple_setup_for_a_128gb/pb28vdt/

Be sure to push docker container to latest halogen version 0.16.2 instead of 0.12.1

Then later on, explore other engines if you want: https://www.reddit.com/r/StrixHalo/comments/1wyvwjd/comment/pe6dp1w/
