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.

Tough luck bro, Mint is an absolute piece of garbage

Great video, I really appreciate the highlighting of what is unique about the distros you review, i.e. what do they do themselves that no one else does. That granular control of performance is awesome.

"Wichtelmännchen" is a word that should definitely be used more often. Fun fact: It could also be used as a literally translation of the word "Gnome". Which bears some humour since Tuxedo OS is based on KDE . 😄

I got my Tuxedo Stellaris 26 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm absolutely loving it! Although there are certainly some bugs that I need to get resolved soon with the customer support. Not completely surprised as I've never had a Linux setup that was bug-free to start with.

Ooh! I've seen them sponsor your videos before. Syatem76 has 'Pop_OS!', and now Tuxedo has 'Tuxedo OS'! I really like that they went with Plasma for their desktop instead of anything GTK-based.

This looks great. I will try this out. Thanks for the video❤

Thanks for pointing out Fedora repo of Tuxedo Control Center. I will try it out on my 4 years old Tuxedo laptop. Seems it was not available back in 2019, because I remember I was a bit disappointed finding out they support only Ubuntu based distros. Afterwards I didn't try to search if things has changed. 🙂

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.

tuxedo os works best in tuxedo devices, and it looks really interesting. i do think some day ill get one of their 14-inch offerings because i am a sucker for tkl or smaller keyboards and i like my laptops to be portable

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

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.

Thank you so much!!! ❤

When switching graphics, do you still have to reboot though? A year ago the commented under another reviewer that they intended to implement a seamless switch , much like on Windows. Is it already there?

Hi Nick, thanks for your great content. I need your advice, I have a Schenker Vision 16 pro (Schenker is part of tuxedo ). The device is very similar to the Infinity Book from tuxedo. Do you think I can get Tuxedo OS including drivers and control center to run on my device? Unfortunately, I can no longer return the device and suffer a lot with Windows 😢

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.

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

11 ай бұрын

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.

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.

Its definitely one of the distros I wanted to checkout. Seems to have all the advantages over Ubuntu installs with little downside. I've seen something like Tomte on other distros (maybe Manjaro?). Its cool if you want to use mainly open source drivers and propitiatory for other that need it (Nvidia).

When you test graphics performance, you usually do gaming tests. How does this relate to performance in applications like video cut? A gaming laptop that can play for example Cyberpunk, can also be used for video cut or which requirements does it have?

Very interesting - I install Linux on old hardware (mostly laptops) for non-techy friends and I typically choose between Mint and Pop OS - this is a definite contender going forward. I was really impressed by how Pop OS makes it super easy to install a recovery partition and to upgrade firmware on Lenovo laptops - less impressed with how crashable their Pop Shop is - but I guess all their resources are going into Rust development just now. I also get really annoyed about the "bloat" nonsense - I suspect this mostly comes from people who got used to measuring drive storage and maybe even RAM module size in MBs a while back and haven't really moved on since ;)

Have the InfinityBook Pro Gen8 (MK1), and beside the webcam and the mic this is a banger

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.

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. Plus the build quality actually looks very solid which is rare for small company. Apologies if I sound like a shill, I've been exploring options for laptops for a while now and this one seems to check every box for me.

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.

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.

I wanted to get a tuxedo laptop in India but the price almost doubles at the import customs in India 🤷🏻‍♂️

This laptop support S3 sleep mode?

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

I'm not into gaming laptop anymore but consider to repurpose my desktop gpu as an eGPU. Any clue if it's working well on linux ?

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

I'm currently looking for a "Linux friendly" 13'-14' laptop. But non of them so far is offering AMD ryzen 6k/7k-series with out a discrete gpu. For me performance per watt, and there by battery life is a must, and when I need ,rdna 680/780m is awesome. So intel just doesn't cut it. I'm currently using a Lenovo (Ryzen 5600u, getting on the slow side for my work..), it's awesome until you need to update the bios (Windows only -.- )

Out of curiosity, what kind of work do you do?

So what's the difference between Tuxedo OS and Feren OS?

My brand new Lenovo Legion S7 is coming back from the service repair, Windows 11 literally cooked the laptop. I wish I knew Tuxedo 5 months ago, they have high-end video editing spec for only £500 more than Legion. In the slim chassis

I guess we will

I running MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit... Run Great but when 2024 comes around (?) more programs & Browsers aren't going to update, moving away from Windows 7(?). So sent this old timer is HP DV7 AMD 17.3 w fingerprint scanner, 2.0ghz x2 CPU, Dual HHD/SSD, Blu-ray/DVD-RW (News one "Not built-in" you have to carry extra DVD/RW devices) so I going to set one HHD of dual boot Tuxedo. I like the Tudedo laptop for DIY fixable or changeable components? Look at the review on the Laptop a lot of PC get lost are damaged coming to USA? So looking for a seller I mean Tux Laptop 1500-6K USD. in the USA? But now I will try it out! OS and see?

My girlfriend uses it so it must be good. Great marketing, thanks for the review.
