Tuxedo is a Linux laptop, Framework is "just another" windows laptop that happens to work with Linux as well.
- snvzz 3y agoIf I was them, I wouldn't bother. Best to focus on making the hardware the absolute best. This includes selecting parts that work well on oss systems, as well as taking special care on the firmware side that everything is as correct and open source as possible. Anybody else can do software support; that's not my business. >Tuxedo is a Linux laptop, Framework is "just another" windows laptop that happens to work with Linux as well. I disagree with the practice of bundling to begin with. If it was up to me, I'd have laws in place to prevent bundling. I do not want a Linux laptop, or a Windows one. I just want a laptop that doesn't suck.
- _odey 3y agoYes, you are right, no bundling would be best across the board. But Microsoft is doubling down on this, with mandatory TPM requirements and keyboard changes for vendors. Unfortunately, in practice it's the case that the vendor's advertised support matters.
