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?
