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.

I have a tuxedo machine. Their support is great. The "pre installed os is bad" people have no idea what they are talking about. TuxedoOS is a Kubuntu slightly modified to include their branding (wallpapers, etc) and a couple of drivers, plus their tuxedo-center app (which you can remove if you want).

Nothing will stop you from installing any other os and if you want to come back to the original OS, you can use their WebFAI and reinstall the way they did it at the factory (or pick another os from the list).

Their hardware is fine, I have a system76 machine as well and they are comparable in every aspect, considering all of them use "generic" hardware.

I'd personally go for it if it works for you.

Good luck!

I heard the tuxedo-center app can be installed in different distro too, and it works fine. Ye, i will probably go for it.
