Aber nichts sticht ein Gläschen Haselnussgeist

Die, ist Plural

Lasst den Leuten doch ihre scheiß (ha) Sauna.

Recently took the leap to try it out and it’s surprisingly nice. Especially thanks to the automatic rollbacks, in case something breaks. Only took me a few years of getting nagged and learning about it, and multiple attempts at reading through the documentation.

But for a beginner? No way. NixOS has a serious documentation issue. Also the community structure is a big plus in Debian.

That’s a band name

Solar energy used to be a similar con and look at it now.

No clue where that is from and if it’s already in effect, but what’s marked here only talks about developers, not users. Still, what a world to live in

But it’s hard if it’s up and not hard if it’s down?

They thought they were doing opinionated design while all they really did was ignore valid user concerns

Curiously people seem much more privacy aware with these

Add I said, some models are supported, if you have a different one good luck

Distribution support outside of the standard Ubuntu/tuxedo os was terrible for a long time. The fan support was essentially broken on my laptop except on the officially supported systems. Your can manually compile the (bloaty node.js) tuxedo control center, but instructions on GitHub are wrong and incomplete.

I recently saw that they now added support for Debian 13 though, so that might be worth another try.

There is also a community project tuxedo-rs but with limited device support. Doesn’t support fan control on my device but is much nicer than the original otherwise.

Now what does that tell us about the sanity and safety?
