Diese elegante Erscheinung trafen wir am #Wegesrand . Aufgeschlossen und gesprächig zeigte sie uns den Weg, begleitete uns ein Stückchen und nahm dann ihren Posten auf einer Papiertonne wieder ein.

We met this elegant apparition at the side of the path. Outgoing and talkative, she showed us the way, accompanied us for a while and then took up her position on a paper bin again.

I usually don’t like to brag about new gadgets nor leave reviews, but I feel like I have to make an exception this time.

If you need a new laptop and you want #Linux on it, go for @tuxedocomputers. (I’ve also heard good things about #System76, but being based in the EU for me it made more sense to go for #Tuxedo).

I’ve been using a Dell XPS 13 from 2015 as my main driver until a few days ago. A solid machine that has done a great job for a whole decade, but at some point 8GB of non-expandable RAM start to feel tight.

Initially I wanted to buy a new XPS 13, but I’ve felt a bit underwhelmed by their current offer. They’ve gone full MacBook style, with little to no room for expandibility or repairability, just two USB-C ports as available interfaces, and the prices are quite obscene for the performance - sorry, I won’t pay $2,500 for a machine with max 32GB of non-expandable RAM and an Intel Core Ultra 7 with 8 cores and 12MB of cache.

I eventually opted for a Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14.

64GB of RAM, Intel Core Ultra 7 with 16 cores and 24MB of cache, and all the connectivity I want, for ~$1600.

I got a model with TuxedoOS because I’ve heard good things about it and I wanted to give it a brief try before installing Arch. And the OS seemed indeed stable and well-designed. However the tuxedo-control-center and the DKMS modules are also available on the AUR, so you can probably get the same results even on Arch.

The Arch installation was also quite painless. mesa and linux-firmware out of the box did the job to recognize all of the devices. The DKMS drivers are optional, for things like the presence sensor and backlight configuration. I only spent a couple of hours trying to fix a boot issue with GRUB, and eventually concluded that it’s most likely a UEFI firmware issue in the GRUB installation. I switched to systemd-boot and it went flawlessly at the first attempt. I guess that it’s time to say goodbye to dear ol’ GRUB and its massive configurations with so many moving parts and things that can go wrong…

First, let me introduce the two boys: Curled at lap distance, is #Teddy, an all black face #Tuxedo cat, & above on the right, #Jasper is a soft long haired white #cat.
Teddy is a cuddler, and Jasper won't come in the bedroom when Teddy is there.. Remember, they traveled 10,000 kms together this year

Jasper is the poop king. When adopted, he had been brought to a shelter after being tossed from a car along the highway. People had tried to adopt but he was rather unmanageable.
