Description from their page:

TUXEDO Computers are customizable Linux notebooks and Desktop PCs optimized in the first place to run with Ubuntu-based Linux operating systems. Literally Linux hardware in a tailor-made suit.

I've been wanting to buy a laptop from them for awhile, but I like to assemble my own PCs and honestly don't need a laptop. At this point I'm just looking for an excuse to support such companies...

Typing this from a Tuxedo Pulse Gen 3 - wanted a laptop that was suitable for development with a few more pixels at a reasonable price. Superb machine - recommend to anyone.

Gotta love Tuxedo Computers. Hardware that has the best compatibility on Linux is the first thing I look out for.

Linus Torvalds our beloved Finn graced upon our world the Linux kernel.

Linus Torvalds our beloved fin

Took me a while to work out what you meant, given that a fin is a part of a fish! Hope you don't mind the correction, the word you wanted is Finn.

Does anyone have experience buying from them? I first time heard of this company on Reddit, but haven't seen a review of their products on lemmy yet.

I bought one from them in 2016. Lasted a good while, but the hardware is (was?) rebranded Clevo laptops. Had to return it once for a screen repair (my own fault) which worked fine and was not very expensive. Overall I would recommend them, but their models are afaik all in the upper price range.

The Linux Experiment on Peertube has plenty. I have a computer from them: flawless. 10/10

I would consider them for a future laptop but how many Linux users aren't building their own desktops?

Me - Ain't got the time. I'm sure there are at least three of us!

That's fair. I don't have the time either but I love building a new custom rig and I trust myself to get it right over pre built PCs. So I make time. Saves a few $ too.

absolutely fair. A better phrasing would be "I'm not willing to spend the time and mental energy" instead of "I don't have it" to be honest.
