First of all, I’m not sure this is the best community for this, so if you think there is a more suitable one, please inform me.
So I’ve been looking for manufacturers that sell computers with Linux out of the box and I remembered hearing about Tuxedo Computers. Some people seem to really like them, but I’ve also heard of some people complaining about them too.
And so I’ve come here to ask this community what are your experiences with this vendor? Is there somewhere else I should look? Thanks in advance.
when i bought one, they were nothing more than re-badged clevo and tongfeng laptops.
that means that they costed a little bit more than windows based laptops with the same specs; but it also means that there was no headaches with hardware compatibility and that the battery life was better if you chose your hardware correctly. (it’s also smooth sailing if you pay for the support).
i bought from kfocus most recently and it turns out it’s not any different than tuxedo and i suspect that all the linux laptop companies are the same; besides system76 who have started building their own laptops instead of re-badging clevo/tongfeng.
