I just purchased one of these on BF sale. How hard is it to install Truenas?

I put straight Debian on it, but it was pretty easy. Go to the bios, turn off secure boot, change default boot device, prosper. It's just an x86 computer that boots a custom Linux distro (TOS), no reason any other Linux distro can't work. They don't lock the boot loader like say... Synology.

You need a newish Linux kernel (6.12 maybe? Don't remember exactly) for proper support of the N150 iGPU and the Realtek NICs it uses.
