Tuxedo OS is looking solid. I'm a happy camper on Fedora, but if things there ever went belly up then this is something I'd consider switching to. Good to see them maintaining their own kernel and Mesa driver. The ones in Ubuntu can get a tad ancient.

[@cameronbosch1213]

Speaking of Fedora...

[@teklife]

that is interesting. in open source software and development, i remember reading YEARS ago, like 2010, on Ubuntu's site, how their development works, with graphical charts and how many patches are pushed to upstream. so, i think every downstream project can and should benefit their upstream. i wonder if the kernel and mesa driver they maintain will get pushed upstream to benefit Ubuntu and Debian, or will it just stay there in Tuxedo OS only. i hope their great changes are contributions which will help everyone in the free OS sphere, including Arch, Fedora, Opensuse, etc.

[@FengLengshun]

I actually used this before I messed around too much and decided to use KDE neon for further playing around. It's pretty good, it's tough deciding whether I like Tuxedo OS or KFocus more. I do really like the powerplan app they have, and their automated power adjustment feels like the only one that works without major compromises. I think it's a solid alternative if you don't align with Kubuntu, Neon, or KFocus. I honestly just wish that they also have FerenOS theming/UX options but it's clear that it's... not easy to accomplish. If I could have that and have an immutable version of Tuxedo OS I'd probably use it full-time on my laptop

Even now, after several attempts at starting over, it's still buggy and laggy for some unknown reason, despite working great on both my other PCs.

I have an Acer Aspire 5 and used a USB flash drive with Ventoy to try out several distros before committing it to a Linux one.

Well, they shipped an update that broke support for the internal(!) keyboard. Customer support told me I would have to do a BIOS update.

Second user was not selectable in any way. Tried several things without luck. Tuxedo support asked me to reinstall Mesa drivers. Now things got worse: Right hand side of the screen only shows every second line of pixels, and screen content is sized down to about two thirds of the screen. Tuxedo supoort tells me the only way to fix this is backing up my data and reinstalling the OS. I'm getting serious Win98 vibes. :-D

A year ago I told myself that I would not be distrohopping any more. But Tuxedo OS looks very tempting.

[@jsizemo]

I kinda find it frustrating to have to go to a derivative fork of a mainline distribution, in this case Ubuntu, to get more hardware support. Why aren’t all these additional kernel modules and libraries already in the mainstream distros , e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, or even the Kernel itself?

[@MaryamMaqdisi]

Things are usually ported upstream, but it can take time until it’s merged + I would bet most people run older kernels anyway (like me) so it will take a while until they benefit from these changes. Other changes may break things for some devices so they may be doomed to forever be outside the main kernel.

It sounded good, so I tried it out. This is the craziest installer I've ever seen. It dropped me straight into the installer on boot. I went through a few steps, and then it looked like it crashed and dumped me out to the desktop. The only clue that it hadn't crashed was that it remembered my Wi-Fi. I launched the installer from the desktop, it went a bit further, and "crashed" again. Once more I was back at what looked like the beginning of the installer. I kicked it off once more, and this time everything completed. Now that it's finally up and running it looks pretty good. Going to use it for a while and see how it does. --- Update --- Discover software center crashes constantly.

[@kote315]

Okay, I tried it a bit and I generally liked it a lot. It really feels like kubuntu without all the stupid things from Canonical (or like Mint with KDE, if you wish). I would not say that the system is bloated, but there are a couple of extra utilities from Tuxedo (useless on my hardware). They can be removed, but I've noticed that this removes some kernel modules, so be careful. Also, shortcuts from the menu remain and they need to be removed manually, which is sad. For some programs, German language packs are installed by default, and I had to manually install some Russian langpacks (for example, for Firefox). Changes in KDE Plasma are not significant, easy to change to the stock state. Almost all the necessary programs are in the repositories. And yet I miss AUR. I broke everything (okay, not everything, just Dolphin) pretty quickly. But this is purely my fault, a normal user should not experience this.

[@Mekuso8]

I've been using Tuxedo OS on a Tuxedo laptop for a while and generally really like it. My only issue is that the graphics will sometimes bug out horribly after suspending (which it'll do by default after some time of inactivity). This will often show the contents of your programs even before you've unlocked the device, which is absolutely unacceptable from a privacy and security standpoint, especially in a business context. I understand that it's unlikely that Tuxedo wrote the code which causes the bug (probably something with the combination of Nvidia and KDE) but that's no excuse, as Tuxedo are the ones that chose to combine these technologies into a package they charge a fair amount of money for. Some fix or workaround for this is absolutely and urgently needed. Other than that, I can only recommend Tuxedo.

[@Mekuso8]

@bluetoothspeakergaming if it's really that simple, then Tuxedo OS should run Wayland by default, because X11 isn't "stable" if it can potentially leak business secrets or whatever

[@GalenCurrah]

"Super" sounds somewhat juvenile to a mature English speaker, and draws more attention to itself than to the adjective that it is supposed to modify. I suggest that you try saying "very", which directs attention to the adjective, and reserve "super" as a kind of superlative to "very". "This machine is very sophisticated and has a super graphics card." Or better yet: "superb graphics card".

[@IamTheHolypumpkin]

Edit: I decided against tuxedo os. Calamaris the installer constantly crashes during formatting. It appears that the current installer has trouble with luks2 encryption and LVMs. It just Seg-Faults. I'll use Debian 12 but change the repos from stable to testing, so I get it to be a, semi-rolling release. I consider dualbooting it besides Fedora. While Fedora will remain my primary system. Although I just switched recently. I always wanted to go with a, RHEL related distro. Still when I occasionally need a Debian base but want the semi-rolling release Tuxedo is at the top of the list.

[@gwgux]

Thanks for covering this. I didn't know much about this distro at all prior to this video. Looks to be a solid KDE Plasma focused distro which as a fan of that DE myself I can appreciate. Though I do wonder how much they actually need Kubuntu for. If they're doing rolling release on their kernel and driver updates, KDE, and their own config utilities, I wonder if they eventually plan on just cutting over to their own base system at some point.

Top-spec Stellaris 16 w/ 5y warrany is $5140 + $99 shipping to US. Over 5 years (absolute minimum life given the warranty) this is $1047.80 a year or $87.32/month. Considering the insane specs RTX-4090 + 96GB DDR5 + 8TB NVME, well tested software stack, and highly competent customer support, I think it's a great deal. At least for someone like me, I just want to clone my dotfiles and repos and start working. I never liked the config crazy aspect of linux beyond configuring my everyday tools like tmux and nvim.

Tuxedo OS looks good on a non Tuxedo PC, but I think that it really shines on their own hardware. I'm not really convinced that I'd use Tuxedo OS over another KDE distro like Fedora on non Tuxedo hardware, but that's just me. Their hardware looks really good and with a tailored Tuxedo OS (pun intended) it makes for a good out of the box "it just works" experience. Given the higher price point of their hardware though, I'm kinda expecting to have an easy premium experience with the device, but it seems like a solid brand.

[@RogueRen]

I like how Tuxedo OS sounds, and I downloaded the iso to try it out instead of Pop!_OS. But like very other time I've tried to use anything else, I immediately had issues. This time being that the installer ISO had a kernel panic before I even installed it... I will forever be stuck on Pop!_OS at this rate...

[@themadoneplays7842]

Big issue with tuxedo OS is that if you already have a linux install it wont work, The installer hangs if you reuse partitions like /home as it sets up permissions. I tried both versions and both failed to install without me having to back up my /home directory. Sure I make constant backups, but it's a lot to do just to try a distro out for a spin on real hardware. This is something no other distro I have tried has done, not even arch.

[@lisovyy]

I had some troubles with Tuxedo OS2 on my Tuxedo InfinityBook, which was pretty weird. The official ISO messed up the GRUB loader during installation.

It works now without any problems. It is Tuxedo 3 by now. The dual boot works way better than 2 years ago when I once installed Tuxedo as a dual boot. Like this it jumps after 10 seconds to Tuxedo or I can chose Windows 11 as well. Since there is a real company behind Tuxedo, I recommend only this OS besides to Pop OS. With Pop OS I have no experience. No chance of gaming on Linux as it seems. But TOR browser works. Basically Linux is with Tuxedo similar easy as Windows 11 is.

@@xeiAiex I wouldn't really say they're all the same. Sure, it's all about packages and configs. But getting those packages installed in an efficient manner can often be annoying compared to just starting with a base that's close to what you want. In addition, there's the matter of default repos - some distro have a different default repo, with its own versions and list of packages, and once you start mixing repo then you start to deal with dependency hell.

I'm not sure if the Framework 16 will have a 4090 option right out of the box. So if you need that, I'd say to go now for the Tuxedo one. You can voice your concerns directly to them, by email (as I tried) or by other means - Nick suggested Mastodon. Maybe they do have some contracts with some service repair in each country, I would expect that to make more sense. Given how wrong shipping in general can go, you might get your laptop more damage from the overseas transport than you began with.

Are they upstreaming the patches?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Yeah

[@pourlaviande1943]

the Pulse 15 gen 2 has been discarded by Tuxedo. Any idea when and if they will launch the next gen ?

I've been wanting to get a Tuxedo laptop for a while now. I want one for video editing using DaVinci Resolve. What should I get?

[@joli22]

please let this (especially the control center with OC functions etc) work on my XMG laptop aswell...

Out of pure curiosity: Is it a good idea to put an nvidia gpu into a linux machine ?

I think that nothing can beat Endeavour OS :)

I am the Linux user for 4 years form Poland (it saved my laptop frombeeing thrown out, after win7 was abandoned by microsoft). I love the idea of computers preinstaled with Linux, but the Polish market reality is that, you can buy a strong win11 laptop 20% cheepper than Tuxedo product. Thats a huge price number to take consider of. I keep my finger crossed to let companies like Tuxedo prosper at its best, but right now on Polish market the price diffrent is too big for casual user.

I like the idea of tuxedo machines but the dollar conversion costs plus shipping plus likely some kind of customs fees makes it too expensive 😢

Hello Frenchbro, so we all have heard what is going on in France. Apparently, using Linux and adblockers is considered "terrorism" by the court. Does this make you a "terror guru", Nick?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Apparently!

[@kici5777]

Can you easily install Waydroid on it or will there be Kernel Errors cause of Tuxedo-Kernel..? 🤔

That is a nice ass looking shirt, where did you get that? 0:32

Seems cool. Though to be fair wether something is bloat has nothing to do with wether or not it's removable. All the bloatware that comes with Windows laptops is alo removable
