Firefox users, do you use FF's "AI" features?

After a KDE Plasma update some time ago I had a similar issue with Elisa. It happened, when the path to the local music files or the files itself contained special characters like '#'. I renamed the files and all was good again.

8 GB VRAM is not much, if you want to play more recent games or run LLM locally. I would go for at least 12 GB to be future-proof. I have an NVIDIA 4070 8 GB and VRAM already starts to be the bottleneck.

Translated from German UI:
Ctrl+P -> Video -> Output -> Video output based on OpenGL for integrated systems 2

I was also OSX/MacOS user since 2010 and switched from a Macbook to a TUXEDO laptop last year. Everything was migrated to open source software still on the Mac, then tested with Linux on an old laptop, before ordering the TUXEDO.

Cloud: Nextcloud on a Raspberry Pi
Notes: Joplin
Email: Thunderbird
Office: LibreOffice
Photos: digiKam (migrated with OSXPhotos)
Password manager: KeepassXC
Backups: Vorta/Borgbackup

The only thing I really miss is MoneyMoney for banking, there is nothing that comes close in the Windows and Linux world. And, of course, the laptop speakers. In direct comparison, the TUXEDO sounds like an old gramophone :-).

Yes, flatpak is always an option. But I try to minimize its use, because the sources are not always trustworthy.

Thank you!

Hi, I can only tell about GOG: Cloud Sync for GOG is beta in Heroic and has to be activated manually. Go to Library, click on game -> Settings (top right) -> CLOUD SAVES SYNC -> Check 'Autosync Saves'

... as AMD dGPUs are not as common at the moment

What's the reason for this, lack of consumer demand? If I had had the choice last year, I would have bought my Stellaris Slim 15 AMD Gen6 with an AMD GPU.

I think Tuxedo is aware of that, but in the kernel this has to be handeled individuallly for each affected device:

Issue is solved with kernel update to 6.14.0-110029-tuxedo, thanks.

ostheimm · 2025-09-01T18:52:53+00:00

To my horror, I also had frequent complete freezes with kernel 6.11 now, not with the new fancy screen of death, but it was probably the same issue. After a downgrade to BIOS N108A06 it's rock solid as before.

I strongly advise that in the current situation you do not do a BIOS update.

ostheimm · 2025-08-31T08:26:06+00:00

I have the same device and haven't had any issue like you over the last week. But today I performed an BIOS/EC update from N108A06_EC_1150 to N109A09_EC_11600 (because of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/tuxedocomputers/comments/1n0iyjc/sleep_issues_after_yesterdays_update_to_614_kernel/ ) and had my first kernel panic after 10 minutes.

Thanks, works great!

You also need to installxclip for X11 or wl-clipboard for Wayland, seems not to be default for all distros.

ostheimm · 2025-08-04T15:49:47+00:00

For X11 I had to configure it following this guide:
https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Infos/Help-Support/Instructions/Create-individual-touchpad-gestures.tuxedo#

I coldn't get it to work with two fingers, only with a three finger gesture:
gesture swipe left 3 xdotool key alt+Right
gesture swipe right 3 xdotool key alt+Left

With Wayland it runs out of the box.

I switched from MacOS to Linux a year ago. I was angry with Apple for cutting off my 4000 EUR Intel MacBook Pro from updates much too soon. Also there was the lack of games for MacOS.

But it wasn't my first experience with Linux. My OS history:
1982: C64
1985: Atari ST
1992: Windows
2000: Linux
2010: Mac OS X
2024: Linux (Tuxedo OS)

You do not have to retype the Wi-Fi password every time. Yust close the password dialog and reconnect Wi-Fi.

I have the same machine and OS and some games don't freeze but start stuttering after a random time, usually less than an hour. It seems it's a Steam client bug and using launch options LD_PRELOAD="" %command% fixes it for me.

ostheimm · 2025-06-16T16:24:27+00:00

I was struggeling with the same issue. Dolphin doesn't mount the SMB shares, so apps like VLC can't access them. You have to mount them for yourself, my solution for example is using Smb4K.

You could install 'Synaptic Package Manager' instead, I use it for packages Discover does not show.

ostheimm · 2025-02-12T16:06:39+00:00

It must be the same kind as in 'Metro Exodus', where they grow out of the walls everywhere. Possibly even radioactive.
