After fiddling with the UEFI, I managed to boot it...

Couldn't get it to load the non-free firmware, tried the unofficial build with non-free firmware, but still couldn't load it...

That made me think of giving Ubuntu MATE a try, it detected my wireless card and loaded the firmware automatically!
