…I feel like that word doesn’t mean what you think it means

I know trademarks don’t work that way, but imagine if it was actually Revolut, the fintech company

I like how there’s a subtle masturbation joke here

I use both

Quad monitors + GNOME workspaces are awesome

ping 1.1 also works. It resolves to 1.0.0.1, which is Cloudflare’s secondary DNS

The concept of “banned words” (other than the offensive stuff, of course) in a classroom is so funny to me. There is no way that the person who came up with that wasn’t the sourest loser ever.

They don’t design all of their laptops, so it’s not always up to them. They order off-the-shelf designs with their logo from Clevo or some other ODM and tweak the firmware.

The model that I have uses the motorcomm yt6801 chip. There is apparently some work going on to upstream the driver by the OEM, but it largely stalled with the last comment being from a kernel maintainer 7 months ago

I’m using an Infinitybook Pro 14 gen 9. It came out last year.

You will most likely need the “tuxedo-drivers” package, but whether you’ll need an ethernet driver too depends on the hardware they choose.

At least they publish their drivers for both RPM and DEB systems, so that makes it a bit less painful.

Of course, none of this applies if you use their distro. There, everything is pre-installed and configured for their laptops

As much as I like my Tuxedo, I probably would not have bought it if I had known that the ethernet card and some laptop essentials dont work without their drivers, which have not been upstreamed. Due to this, I can’t use my distro of choice (Bluefin) OR run with secure boot and LUKS with tpm unlock even on regular Fedora
