Tuxedo · 2024
Tuxedo Stellaris 16 Gen6 (Intel)
A Linux-native gaming and CUDA laptop with up to a mobile RTX 4090, a 240 Hz panel and a vendor-tuned GPU mux, from about 1979 euro in the EU. The 4-hour battery is the cost of the i9 and 4090. For a Linux desktop-replacement that is the deal.

ubuntu-lts: Ships TUXEDO OS, Ubuntu or Kubuntu 24.04 with the NVIDIA driver and Tuxedo's own control center for fan curves and the GPU mux. Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC are wired up by the vendor, which is the reason to buy this over a generic gaming chassis. No fingerprint reader. Suspend with the 4090 is the standard NVIDIA caveat but Tuxedo tunes it better than most. SO-DIMM RAM to 96 GB.
fedora: Fedora works but you lose the Tuxedo Control Center integration, so fan and mux control fall back to manual. RPM Fusion akmod-nvidia for the 4090.
