How delightful, my #tuxedocomputer is doing the thing it does once every other month where it refuses to turn on for 1-6 hours despite being fully charged. Yeah, my next laptop isn't going to be a Tuxedo 😕
Edit: it finally fixed itself after 7 hours 🙃
Mein #KDE #DesktopPC wird langsam altersschwach (Baujahr 2013). Viele Dinge ziehen sich in die Länge wegen schwächlicher Performance im Vergleich zu meinem Lenovo T14 Laptop.
#Tuxedocomputer hätte da einen MiniPC der mir als Arbeitspferd dienen könnte.
@avoca The MacBook PRO has fans! Or do you mean the MacBook AIR? It doesn't have one.
Yes, once you're used to a fanless device, the slightest noise is annoying. ARM devices could become standard in the next few years, but it will certainly be a while before major manufacturers switch over and adopt them. For Linux in particular, at least Tuxedo-Computer from Augsburg/Germany has already announced a notebook with ARM and Tuxedo OS for the end of the year.
I'm not really known for reacting calmly to technical problems - and this time, too, Cuddly Bear became a volcano.
My Minisforum 780 XTX briefly gave up the ghost, but worked again the next day, albeit only briefly. There is no more image output via DP, only via USB4, and then only if the DC cable was not connected and the power came via the USB4 cable plugged into the monitor.
Yesterday afternoon there was no picture here either, and no power. Completely dead since then. No attempts to bring the box back to life have worked, and even shouting at it, swearing and jumping in circles didn't help - the thing flew across the room. 😡
So one thing is certain for me: never again a mini PC. Instead, I'm thinking about buying a midi-tower system from Tuxedo Computers and supporting a real Linux company in its work. I really like this model:
