    How long have you had it? No issues?

    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.

    How's the build quality? Is it all aluminium, or just parts of it? Is the touchpad glass/haptic, or regular plastic kind?

    I've got a similar model. Build quality is pretty good. Although I have had issues with the speakers and one of the charging ports (there is redundancy here tho as it comes with 2 USBC). Chassis is all aluminium. Not sure exactly the touchpad material - probably plastic, with no haptics.

    Overall the design is modelled on Macbooks with great screens and similar shape, but with handy extras like some actual ports.

    They are just white-labeled from other companies so you might be able to find them cheaper, but overall they are sold at a fair price compared to mainstream brands.
