I built myself a new PC with an Intel i7-6700K ("Skylake" architecture) 
- and I was prepared for lots of grief and trouble. However, installing 
Debian "testing" yesterday, from the latest Amd64 snapshot, was 
absolutely painless.

I'm using kde as desktop, and it looks really great. I installed the 
system on a Samsung SSD 950 Pro with a super-fast PCIe M.2 interface. No 
problems with any drivers. Kde runs perfectly on three monitors using 
the built in graphics system on the i7 processor.

The mother-board is an a Asus Z170 "PRO GAMING" (Z170-A was out of stock).

I just wanted to share the good experience :)
