Description from their page:

TUXEDO Computers are customizable Linux notebooks and Desktop PCs optimized in the first place to run with Ubuntu-based Linux operating systems. Literally Linux hardware in a tailor-made suit.

I’ve been wanting to buy a laptop from them for awhile, but I like to assemble my own PCs and honestly don’t need a laptop. At this point I’m just looking for an excuse to support such companies…

      How can you not have the time?

      Even if you are not experienced then it takes a maximum of a few hours. It’s not like you build a pc often

        The building itself is not the issue but the compatibility checks, the hardware selection…

        I spent days on mainboard selection alone -and could spend just as much time on every other part.

        Basically a prebuild reduces the time to a sanity check instead of rabbit holeing (is that a word?)

          Partpicker does that for you. There’s so many groups/forums/discords that will provide solid build recommendations

            Well it’s been a decade since I last built one myself (and half a decade since my last upgrade), I’ll look into it the next time thanks to you.

            Thank you very much for that! (Non sarcasm disclaimer, written text and gratitude on the internet is a dangerous combination!).

      That’s fair. I don’t have the time either but I love building a new custom rig and I trust myself to get it right over pre built PCs. So I make time. Saves a few $ too.

        absolutely fair. A better phrasing would be “I’m not willing to spend the time and mental energy” instead of “I don’t have it” to be honest.
