Ich setze Tuxedo OS seit 2024 ein.

Ich habe ein Full AMD System als Haupt PC. Weiter ein AMD/Nvidia System als PC meiner Frau und dann noch 5 verschieden alte und unterschiedlich ausgestattete Notebooks.

Tuxedo OS läuft stabil auf allen Geräten. Es ist sehr benutzerfreundlich.

Probleme bei der Installation gab es nur bei 2 Geräten weil ich erst einen Weg finden musste Secure Boot zu deaktivieren.

Ansonsten löse ich kleinere Fragestellungen durch Befragen einer AI.

Meine Gründe für Tuxedo OS:

KDE - ist mein bevorzugter Desktop

Stabilität und Modernität

Sehr gute Hardwareunterstützung

Sehr gute Paketauswahl inkl. Flatpak

Was on Fedora GNOME for a few years and wanted to switch into KDE Plasma, that turned out to be a mutated mess. I also had gotten tired of the whole "bleeding edge" pace of Fedora and so I decided to switch. Was distro hoping and already familiar with MInt, Ubuntu, MX linux. I really like KDE and don't want to get into Snap packages and I read that Tuxedo has good support for newer intel processors, so giving it a shot. It's been a few days now and I really like the polish of it, it's sleek, the installation was simple and to the point. Some cons, it's kind of geared towards Tuxedo's own hardware, sort of (if they re-marketed that, they could bring in a lot more users), the system does come with some software geared towards a more "gamer" orientated user (Tuxedo Control Center) for example, it's not bad, but if you're not a gamer it kind of detracts from the aesthetics that is Tuxedo.

Tuxedo OS es lo que debería ser cualquier distro: funciona. Sin florituras inútiles, sin romperse por actualizar, sin obligarte a perder horas afinando detalles absurdos. Arranca rápido, es estable y el hardware está bien soportado, como debe ser. No intenta reinventar Linux, lo ejecuta correctamente. Si quieres trabajar y no hacer de beta tester eterno, aquí tienes un sistema serio. Sólido, coherente y sin tonterías. Así es como se hacen las cosas. Y sí, compila antes de que termines el café.
