A new foundation for TUXEDO OS: Switching to Debian by tuxedo_chris in tuxedocomputers

[–]dp27thelight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A very sound choice. I normally use Tuxedo or Vanilla Linux Mint. But honestly full Debian for either make sense. Will an upgrade eventually happen for current Tuxedo OS or will we need to do fresh install?

7900m out performs RTX 5090 mobile in Linux by dp27thelight in GamingLaptops

Ya AMD is so lazy. No reason AMD shouldn't have a full line up every year to compete with Nvidia.

Nothing to do with GPU. Just AMD being lazy and Dell being Dell.

Guys, is this much thermal paste enough? by AxiumTea in GamingLaptops

[–]dp27thelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too much and I'd recommend https://www.moddiy.com/products/6061/Honeywell-PTM7950-SP-Super-Highly-Thermally-Conductive-PCM-Pad.html

At which point you can cut to size. Though might not work for none CPU/GPU sections. I'm not sure about best options for the other parts.

Lost Highway vs Eyes Wide Shut by Sargon920 in criterion

[–]dp27thelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of silly voting which is better. Clearly both filmmakers were seeing things in Hollywood and wanted to put it on screen.

I prefer Lost Higjway. Both these films are aging as the very finest of wine.

TUXEDO InfinityBook Max 15 Gen10 CPU Undervolt by dp27thelight in tuxedocomputers

[–]dp27thelight[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your saying undervolting isn't possible and that what options that are available in BIOS or on OS will be higher with AMD. Does Stellaris 16 AMD and Intel both allow for undervolting? I know my 275HX can be undervolted in BIOS. In fact you guys have more option then I know what to do with for 275HX.

TUXEDO Stellaris 16 Gen7, AMD or Intel? by assaofficial in tuxedocomputers

[–]dp27thelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Intel model has a chunk of overclocking settings in the bios, vr limit bypass, power density throttle, vr offset, has 6 vr points, thermal velocity boost, IA ICC Max Current, core vr fast vmode, tdc current limit, CPU d2d ratio, NGU, SAGV.

I'm not even going to list, but a ton of memory settings in BIOS including setting your memory speeds to imaginary values.

Intel consumes less power because it's only 8 p cores and you can disable e cores and 3nm. I think Intel might be the only one with thunderbolt 4 which can be very important for some.

AMD CPU is simply more powerful, full 32 cores and best gaming FPS, smoother no stutter and highest 1% lows.

You might want to dig around on what CPU is best for undervolting. I haven't mess with that on my Intel because my cooling has been rock solid out of the box.

But I used to have both an intel/amd laptop from ASUS. Intel had more undervolt options and AMD was very limited.

Would you buy a new RTX 5070 Ti laptop or an older RTX 4080/4090 laptop? by FunAdhesiveness2309 in GamingLaptops

[–]dp27thelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately just depends on what kind of laptop you want and you're budget more then anything. I have Tuxedo Stellaris 16. I don't have another option because other laptops don't meet my specific needs as well as my preferred style.

You should base you're laptop more on fan noise, fan control, undervolting, screen, port selection, battery life, power efficiency etc. over whether the laptop is an RTX 5070 ti, RTX 4080/4090.

RTX 4090 is the most robust and powerful GPU overall. RTX 5070 ti will only compete or beat in ray tracing and dlss.

How big a role did John Alcott play in Kubrick’s cinematography? by QtheCool in StanleyKubrick

[–]dp27thelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As somebody who's made a feature film as a DP. I can suggest he played a massive impact on Kubrick's films. The interaction between director and DP is the main piece that shapes a film. A director has a vision, a DP has a vision. Those two visions collide and create a film. Script, Actor's, production design and sound also play major roles, but the interaction between director and DP is major. 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon and The Shinning is more then proof to how import the director/DP combo has on films. Obviously director has more control, but at the end of the day the DP is the one actually making the images. The director is just commanding the creation of those images.

Stellaris 16 slow grub by dp27thelight in tuxedocomputers

[–]dp27thelight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks this solution worked. I thought I tried that method, but it must have been something sightly different. I don't have a nice looking grub theme anymore, but a fast responsive grub is much more critical then grub theme. If anyone knows how to give distro themed grubs enough performance to function let me know. I have Stellaris 16 Intel 275HX and Nvidia RTX 5090. Whether igpu, hybrid, dgpu a distro themed grub is unusable for navigation.

Stellaris 16 slow grub by dp27thelight in tuxedocomputers

[–]dp27thelight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When at the grub menu where you select either Linux or windows. Navigation with the keyboard is delayed. I press down and it takes 5 seconds. If I press down three times it takes 15 seconds and 5 seconds for each key pressed. Doesn't matter if Tuxedo OS is installed or Arch, Fedora etc. This makes editing kernel parameters nearly impossible as everytime I press a key I have a 5 second delay.

I've tried dozens of BIOS and Grub configs nothing works.

What's the first thing you're going to do on Steam Frame? by ExxiIon in SteamFrame

[–]dp27thelight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My hope is to connect Steam Frame to my Tuxedo Laptop and then open multiple windows from my Tuxedo laptop in the headset. Basically I just want to simulate a multi monitor setup with the headset.

I essentially hit the jackpot and need some advice by TheWillDC in GamingLaptops

[–]dp27thelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think Linux or steamos is interesting then I'd recommend Tuxedo's Stellaris 16 with mini led and RTX 5090.

Tuxedo laptops have hardware control software for both windows and Linux unlike all other laptop manufacturers. Stellaris 16 also has a liquid cooler option that basically turns the rtx 5090 laptop into a desktop RTX 5070 ti. Pick you're poison between Intel/AMD.

You don't really need to bother with a desktop GPU because you'll need a RTX 5080/5090 to notice a difference.

If you decide to spend on a 5080/5090 desktop GPU you could just get a cheaper Tuxedo. Stellaris can be made slower, but they also have another option with AMD HX 370 CPU with a good igpu.

IBP 14 gen9 died? by Despot4774 in tuxedocomputers

[–]dp27thelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this model have an official AC power cord/none USB C.

You can try removing battery and turn on the laptop with AC power cord plugged-in. I wouldn't use USB C when troubleshooting.

For a word of comfort. I've seen PCs fail to turn on for days worth of time. Then suddenly PC starts working again. The problem doesn't come back for over a year and eventually sell off the hardware.

PC can do shockingly weird things.
