Our new version of our configuration service Tomte (2.33.0.) brings a new module called text-boot to the users, which implements the correction of a bug when switching to TUXEDO OS 3 and Plasma 6.
The cube is back!
The desktop cube, with which you could rotate the desktop as a cube. Now it’s back and can be activated in the desktop effects in the system settings.
TUXEDO OS with Plasma 6 - Configuration of the control panel
The panel has been given a new, clearer editing mode, which makes it much easier to set up. You open the editing mode from the context menu (right mouse button) by selecting Start editing mode.
On 28 February 2024, the KDE project released Plasma 6, a rock-solid release with sensible changes. We have integrated Plasma 6 into TUXEDO OS for you over several weeks and tested it extensively so that it now acts as the updated desktop environment for TUXEDO OS.

I finally decided for a new daily driver laptop. I wanted something from a small manufacturer focused on #linux. Looked at devices from #StarLabs, #Purism, #System76, #Slimbook. At the end I decided for the Pulse 14 from @tuxedocomputers. It looks almost perfect for me. The only downside is that they don‘t ship with US-ANSI keyboards. I‘m afraid this will annoy me the first few week… Anyways, looking forward for the device to arrive in order to install #NixOS.
Things are going forward on the route towards the big @kde MegaRelease upgrade for TUXEDO OS. We added Plasma 6.0.2 and built a way to give users both X11 and Wayland right from the start.
Was ist Eure Erfahrung mit dem Akku von #tuxedo Laptops?
Gestern mit InfinityBook Pro 14 erhalten und das vorinstallierte #tuxedoos grob eingerichtet. Nach 4 Stunden war der nagelneue Akku leer. Eher enttäuschend. Zumal bei einem Freund der Akku des gleichen Modell für fast 10 Stunden rennt
Ooooh... why did I say I'd use KDE for 2 weeks? Can I shorten that to one?
This is just adjustment pain talking, I know, but wow. I might love how #KDE looks, but actually working with it is not fun for me. Nothing works the way I expect it to.
But CO, don't you just mean "meh! nOt GnoMe! mE No LiKeY!"
I mean... yeah. That's what I mean. From the very first time I tried #Gnome 3 (like, ten or twelve years ago), everything about it has felt natural to me. The changes that have been made over the years leading up to Gnome 45 today have all more or less worked for me. The way it works just meshes with my brain somehow, and it's very comfortable to work in.
Plasma is none of that, and I don't know why I'm putting myself through this. Don't get me wrong: I adore the KDE project. It's a gorgeous, feature-packed, ultimately configurable #DesktopEnvironment. The problem for me personally is that I just don't need about 75% of those features, and the default setups don't function the way my brain does.
So in short, I might be cutting this experiment short, not because KDE is bad, but because Gnome feels like home.
Which is weird, because I hated Gnome 2, which I thought of as a more difficult to work with, less resource efficient version of #XFCE.
Oh, yeah, and #KaOS? It's fine. It's super-fine-tuned and dedicated to its mission of being a cutting edge KDE desktop. Which is great if that's what you want, but there's a fine line between dedication and obsession.
I prefer it to dealing with Arch, though, if I'm being honest - specifically because of that obsession. Everything official is tight, works together, and accomplishes the stated goal of the OS. Even the KCP repo is on board for the most part, and it all comes together. If someone did something like this for Gnome/GTK, it'd probably be my OS of choice.
@s20 I haven't dealt with KDE 6 yet. I'm just looking at the news and that sounds very intriguing to me.
Regarding distros, I have always been very true to something that has to do with Debian. I used #Kanotix, #sidux, #kubuntu, #debain, #mint and now more #mxlinux, #tuxedoos and #siduction.
Wie cool und hübsch sind bitte die Laptops von @tuxedocomputers Ich habe mir einen gekauft und heute Abend ausgepackt. Die (gefühlt) eine Million Einstellmöglichkeiten sind überwältigend. Ich bin noch lange nicht durchgestiegen. Wahnsinn! 🤯 Auch das #TuxedoOS was ich erst auf jeden Fall mit #LinuxMint ersetzen wollte, ist hübsch und wird (vorerst 😉 ) doch nicht ersetzt. Einfach sehr cool. 😍
The cleaning up of /boot will in future be handled by our configuration tool Tomte in TUXEDO OS, although you can of course decide whether Tomte should take over this task.
