TUXEDO is excellent. very happy with mine. they’re also on Mastodon
How long have you had it? No issues?
over a year. no issues. i’m running EndeavourOS.
Distribution support outside of the standard Ubuntu/tuxedo os was terrible for a long time. The fan support was essentially broken on my laptop except on the officially supported systems. Your can manually compile the (bloaty node.js) tuxedo control center, but instructions on GitHub are wrong and incomplete.
I recently saw that they now added support for Debian 13 though, so that might be worth another try.
There is also a community project tuxedo-rs but with limited device support. Doesn’t support fan control on my device but is much nicer than the original otherwise.
I have one running Arch. Works well, AUR has the tuxedo control centre and Tuxedo provides a short guide for Arch.
Are these available in the US?
Very good list of recommendments, also my choices!
(To be fair, there are more good ones in that thread, but I’m not complaining).
edit: also, there’s Novacustom which is Dutch and lets you customise a lot of shit.
Your link didn’t work for me. I had to wait several seconds for a redirect that then said “there’s nothing here.”
Weird, for me it says it’s a blahaj zone link and works
this one uses a feddit uk link - does it work?
Yes, thanks, that one works.
Actually had a terrible experience with star labs, not recommended
How are they in terms of reparability?
I really like the ethos of framework… alas, they are from the US. But if you are going to buy any US tech, you can’t do better than them.
Which of them laptops have a track point and three mouse buttons so it can be actually used on the LAP?
I’d love that, but I’d also happily accept two mouse buttons and a normal touchpad over one giant buttonless panel.
Why are there no links here???
American CPU, made in Taiwan, assembled in China, and somehow European tech?
Let me know when it’s a RISC-V laptop made at STMicroelectronics with memory made at GlobalFoundries in Dresden!
Sadly GloFo has its headquarters in New York (state) and is owned by a UAE investor. So would you really call that European then?
Besides that it doesn’t seem to produce or be capable of producing DDR5 and focuses on logic instead.
Nothing is perfect.
Wtf is starlaps?
Fedora is an American distribution.
That slimbook afaik also comes with non-Fedora options. Fedora is developed by the community, so I wouldn’t worry too much, but, in case;
tl:dr; if you care about it being beginner friendly, go for Linux Mint. if european & privacy is important, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
i’d also go for the GNOME one, that’s more customisable.
It doesn’t matter for open source.
, we said about Android and Google.
Yes, it’s backed by Redhat/IBM but it’s a community project. If things goes sideways it’ll be forked and continued as if nothing happened. Using any Linux distribution, you’re using tonnes of US software. They are still absolutely free and open, this is not comparable to Android that proprietary parts and locked in hardware.
Looks like they actually have their own distro https://slimbook.com/en/slimbook-os
Out of curiosity, why if fedora considered American?
Fedora is put our by Red Hat, which is owned by IBM, an American company.
That being said, I use Fedora. Its a great OS.
I didn’t know about the acquisition. That said, not all things American are against EU interests. And this one is free and open source.
I use Fedora too. I’d switch to EU owned, but I need something stable. Hopefully EU government support for open source grows stronger
