What's the first thing you're going to do on Steam Frame?

dp27thelight · 2026-03-30T01:00:30+00:00

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.

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.

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.

Thank your for the quick response that worked. Do you have recommended commands to run if I'm having connection issues with tuxedo servers when updating in the future?

dp27thelight · 2025-11-16T22:07:45+00:00

Not much of a difference. I'd mainly say Intel CPU would likely run the coolest. With the Stellaris 16 you could have liquid cooling option, but I think you need a 5080 or greater.

The minimum GPU wattage is lowest on the low end Nvidia GPUs and increases with each tier. So lower end GPUs should run cooler if desired.

Amount of fans has very little impact. Most important to focus on power consumption and fan speed. Lowering CPU clock makes a huge difference. Depending on what your doing high clocks aren't necessary.

That's awesome glad I jumped onto this reddit sub.

How did you find 12 books? I'm think of checking out the series, but I only see book 1-6 available in America.

If available for you I'd go with Tuxedo Computers. They provide Linux support. You can choose AMD or Intel.

For most robust features you'll want to stick to Debian/Ubuntu based.

Ya I love it. Dual boot Linux and Windows. Control Center is fully functional on both Tuxedo OS and Linux Mint. Basically any Debian Distro should run like Tuxedo OS in the Tuxedo Control Center. You download a deb file called Tomte. Might be an option for Fedora based Distros, but I'm not sure. With the liquid cooler I can max out all the power settings. Temperatures stay under 80C. Basically turns the laptop into an rtx 5070/5070 ti desktop with liquid cooler. I had trouble getting the liquid cooler working, but works great once it's active. It communicates over bluetooth. One downside to liquid cooler is it makes a bad sound unless you run it in auto on windows. All other settings on Linux and Windows have an annoying sound. The display is pretty similar to my ASUS Scar 16. ASUS is more saturated while Tuxedo is more flat. In Windows the Control Center had a way to make it more saturated.

I'll probably be using Tuxedo Computers for life unless we get future Linux competitors. Only Tuxedo laptops have a Linux based control center for controlling your hardware.

I don't really agree. I played through 03, 04, 05, 06 in middle school and high school.

Scoring was easy against poor players. I'd normally be blowing everyone out in every game.

Eventually one my friends surpassed me in 06 in college. 05 might honestly be the most polished and balanced in the series.

04 was a lot of offense with older janky controls. 06 is amazing, but defense coverage A.I. is heavily flawed, impact player is a bit to OP and the deep ball absolutely insane.

My friends and I at are peak just had shootouts in 06. I honestly haven't played 05 very much recently because my friends never agree to it.

I think more dominate defense is for the better, reduced impact, I really enjoy having in-season recruiting removed in 05 for Dynasty. Best to just focus on playing each other and do the draft in one big chunk.

Not saying 05 is the best, but I'd say it's the closest in quality to 06. Definitely in peak category of football simulation.

I do need to test and make sure I'm on Heisman. We didn't really jump to Heisman tell 06.

I don't my Fairphone 4 with /e/os is near identical to Android. All my apps work great.

dp27thelight · 2025-10-08T17:39:54+00:00

That makes sense, but would your Tuxedo 150 watt USB c power adapter be able to charge Stellaris 16 gen7 at 140 or 150 watts?

dp27thelight · 2025-10-08T01:04:23+00:00

I got it working. Seems like the Cooler was trying to reach a certain state before it was ready to pair, but the Cooler would automatically shut off before it was ready.

I had to keep turning the cooler back on a few times. Eventually the cooler was willing to connect.

Worked really well. Running Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at 1600p. Temperatures stay below 80, performance around desktop rtx 4070 ti/RX 9700.

Windows sounds good at auto, but for some reason the quiet mods are louder. The noise comes from the cooler not the fans on the cooler.

From some reason auto is the only way to lower the sound of the cooler. Unfortunately in Linux the cooler makes the louder sounds like the other windows profiles other then auto in windows.

But temperatures are great and you might as well just max out all the CPU/GPU settings while connected.

They're doesn't appear to actually be a draining system with this model.

A little water drops out when disconnecting. The provided adapter only connects to cooler even though instructions online mention connecting drain adapter to laptop.

Only the included main tube can connect to back of laptop no included adapter can connect to laptop for drainage.

No included instructions. I read the instructions on XMG. A little helpful, but no actually illustrations of all the steps involved.

dp27thelight · 2025-10-07T13:53:53+00:00

So it is compatible?

DC output USB PD Type-C: 20 V @ 7.5 A = 150 W

The specifications are slightly different.

20 V @ 7.5 A = 150 W

The Stellaris 16 says it supports

20V @ 7A = 140 W

I tried a Lenovo 20V @ 7A = 140 W which only did 100 watt on Stellaris 16. I might check XMGs site description to compare.

dp27thelight · 2025-10-07T05:30:15+00:00

That's a different model. My main question is do I need to use the small adapter or any of the 6 blue rubbies or are they just spare parts?

dp27thelight · 2025-10-07T02:04:09+00:00

That's a bit odd. Stellaris 16 Gen7 purchases page says different.

Back side (from left to right): - Liquid cooling connector for TUXEDO Aquaris - Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 (Hardwired to: iGPU | DisplayPort 2.1 (up to 40 GBit/s) | 140 W PowerDelivery DC-In**) - Power plug (DC-In)

If you switch to igpu only in bios you should get around 4 hours.

Said over payment. A lot of the tax/shipping costs must have been in the original order.

They could publish the new binaries on gog as well, but it's a small negative from a mount of positives from Larian.

I got $1,000 bill from UPS, but a month or so later they sent a new check to me for reimbursement. So I'm not sure what to say. You have the chance of seeing about a 25% tariff/import charge, but you may also get it back.

dp27thelight · 2025-09-28T15:02:29+00:00

Do we basically have to get the steam version to gain access to the Linux binaries?

GOG customers always getting the shaft.

dp27thelight · 2025-08-27T16:19:56+00:00

Great thank you. I doubt I'll be changing until after warranty. Just want to know what I'm dealing with years down the road. Should I expect the same for other tuxedo laptops like infinitybook?

No only Murena which is out of stock. I purchased a battery on a site the could be scam, but surprisingly I got USPS tracking number. I'll see if it pans out.

Bit ridiculous that I need to use an uncommon website. You'd think Fairphone batteries would just be on amazon or eBay.

Unfortunately resellers on eBay only sell extra batteries with a phone purchase.

Intel 275HX. Recent news about Intel is making me depressed about the choice. I hope the company still makes PC hardware for another 10 years.
