  • I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

    It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
    But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can’t afford their own factory.

    But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

    And I need to highlight their support!
    After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn’t working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
    Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

    Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
    Got that one for free as well after warranty

    So, I can’t really complain about them.
    Actually the opposite.

    But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren’t fitting my use case…





  • I’m sporting a Framework 16 since a few months and had some battery problems at first. Due to work load, I couldn’t really get into the problem and something I changed or updated resolved it.

    But I sent a mail to framework support at that time and the answer was just awesome.
    Not just some typical 1st level response to update or restart, but real technical questions and obvious interest in my problem.
    They even sounded a bit sad, that I couldn’t really tell them anything, because the issue resolved without me being able to pinpoint it.

    On that note, I also have to say, that Tuxedo support was really good.
    My Pulse 15 battery was starting to get a belly, and they sent me a new one without much questions - and no pay.
    Now, after like 4-5 years, I have my old Pulse to my nephew and saw that the CMOS battery is dead. Again they just sent me a new one.

    Some companies really deserve to get recommended.











  • Is there something like an easy migration script, which would take packages and settings from my current install?

    Ok, settings are mostly in my home anyway
    Packages I can generate a list, and the manuals throw out the Manjaro stuff

    Hmm…I’m having a laptop and a workstation running Manjaro and I really would like to make the switch, but can’t tolerate much downtime, because both are machines for my work

    So I’m looking for something to quickly setup everything as I had, without the need to remember everything and do it manually…
