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.

Tuxedo Laptops - Any good? (lemdro.id)

I’m looking at getting myself a new laptop to replace my Dell Inspiron. I’ll be using it for some on the go video editing.

I watch TheLinuxExperiment and he seems happy enough with Tuxedo Laptops. I was looking at the TUXEDO Stellaris 16 - Gen5 - AMD but I’m open to other recommendations.

They used to be good. Are they still worth it?

I love my T16 gen1. The P16 is more upgradable but also much more expensive. But basically yeah, you just have to pick the right model and specs.

what's replaceable on them?

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago

Most parts are replaceable, but I think at most only RAM and SSD are upgradable on the newer models. It's truly disgusting that that's become a feature and not the bare minimum.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

On the T16 I have one soldered RAM slot and one replaceable. Of course the SSD can be upgraded too.

The P16 (not the P16s which is just a T16) has four upgradable RAM slots and two slots for SSD.

So that's not crazy amounts of upgradability but it's something.

I actually got a Legion Pro 5 instead because it's a lot cheaper but still has 2 upgradable RAM slots and two SSD slots. My only complaint is that the keyboard is less stable than on a thinkpad and it looks like a gaming laptop.

Someday I'll get a P16 though... or else one of those Eurocom laptops, if only they had 16:10 screens and nice keyboards.

They're still some of the best machines out there. Every other machine has gotten shittier at an even more rapid pace.

They are okay, not nearly as robust as before.
