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
Awesome! Thanks for pitching in and thanks for the link, got a new peertuber to follow!!
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.
Oh, need to look into the rebrand, thanks for the tip! And yeah noticed their price range is higher up. But glad to hear it was working well
I would consider them for a future laptop but how many Linux users aren't building their own desktops?
Me - Ain't got the time. I'm sure there are at least three of us!
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.
absolutely fair. A better phrasing would be "I'm not willing to spend the time and mental energy" instead of "I don't have it" to be honest.
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?)
Partpicker does that for you. There's so many groups/forums/discords that will provide solid build recommendations
Well it's been a decade since I last built one myself (and half a decade since my last upgrade), I'll look into it the next time thanks to you.
Thank you very much for that! (Non sarcasm disclaimer, written text and gratitude on the internet is a dangerous combination!).
I guess their desktop market is towards businesses? No idea. Personally I'm also more interested in their laptops and indeed love building my own desktop as well.
Gotta love Tuxedo Computers. Hardware that has the best compatibility on Linux is the first thing I look out for.
Linus Torvalds our beloved Finn graced upon our world the Linux kernel.
Linus Torvalds our beloved fin
Took me a while to work out what you meant, given that a fin is a part of a fish! Hope you don't mind the correction, the word you wanted is Finn.
Yess and all the contributors too!
Typing this from a Tuxedo Pulse Gen 3 - wanted a laptop that was suitable for development with a few more pixels at a reasonable price. Superb machine - recommend to anyone.
