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.

I believe system76 still uses clevo laptops for now (although they are purportedly involved in the designs and specs), but has their own desktop PC.

very true and i'm waiting for them to expand further into their laptops for my next purchase.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
