Description from their page:
TUXEDO Computers are customizable Linux notebooks and Desktop PCs optimized in the first place to run with Ubuntu-based Linux operating systems. Literally Linux hardware in a tailor-made suit.
I’ve been wanting to buy a laptop from them for awhile, but I like to assemble my own PCs and honestly don’t need a laptop. At this point I’m just looking for an excuse to support such companies…
Does anyone have experience buying from them? I first time heard of this company on Reddit, but haven’t seen a review of their products on lemmy yet.
The Linux Experiment on Peertube has plenty. I have a computer from them: flawless. 10/10
I bought one from them in 2016. Lasted a good while, but the hardware is (was?) rebranded Clevo laptops. Had to return it once for a screen repair (my own fault) which worked fine and was not very expensive. Overall I would recommend them, but their models are afaik all in the upper price range.
Gotta love Tuxedo Computers. Hardware that has the best compatibility on Linux is the first thing I look out for.
Linus Torvalds our beloved fin graced upon our world the Linux kernel.
I would consider them for a future laptop but how many Linux users aren’t building their own desktops?
How can you not have the time?
Even if you are not experienced then it takes a maximum of a few hours. It’s not like you build a pc often
The building itself is not the issue but the compatibility checks, the hardware selection…
I spent days on mainboard selection alone -and could spend just as much time on every other part.
Basically a prebuild reduces the time to a sanity check instead of rabbit holeing (is that a word?)
That’s fair. I don’t have the time either but I love building a new custom rig and I trust myself to get it right over pre built PCs. So I make time. Saves a few $ too.
