Running Mageia on Tuxedo computers... Very Nice!
Posted: Nov 17th, '21, 19:49
Hi everyone!
My recent search for renewing my computers at work, with customizable machines, landed me in Germany at Tuxedo Computers. There, I got myself a brand new TUXEDO CORE One AMD-Ryzen-Series v10 + Micro-ATX desktop and a TUXEDO Aura 15 - Gen1 notebook, customized for my needs and liking, and both coming with the company's own Tuxedo_OS (Ubuntu Budgie) installed.
My original plan was to give that OS a fair try. However the fact that I had already decided from the get go that its days were be numbered, I could hardly give it a fair appreciation. So the trial period ended up lasting about fifteen minutes. I purged poor Tuxedo_OS and replaced it with Mageia : Cauldron on the desktop; 8 Stable on the notebook.
I am pleased to say that I ran into ZERO issue in both cases. The Tuxedo team choose the parts and build their computers to be compatible with any flavour of Linux and it is true. Mageia runs great on both machines, which are well built. The only thing though, is that by choosing Mageia, I choose to do without the Tuxedo Control Center, which looks like a fine little tool for monitoring and adjusting the performance of the notebook (https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXE ... ter.tuxedo).
I assume that Mageia's own tools are good enough to get the performance I need, but I wonder if I would gain something in performance or longevity if I managed to have the TCC to run on Mageia (I don't have the know-how for making it happen but I don't see how this wouldn't be doable; the packages are available).
What is your opinion? Anybody with an experience with running Mageia on a Tuxedo computer?
Any thought on the TCC, or know of tools available in Mageia that could be fine substitutes?
Regrads!
