I agree with this 100%!

I am using Tuxedo laptops since a few years now and it was always a pleasure to use them. Slimbook and Tuxedo are using barebones from Tongfang and sometimes Clevo in different configuration. I guess the build quality is almost the same for both of them.

There are lot’s of reasons not to do so, but the most important one is probably that Slimbook uses barebones from Tongfang. You can configure the barebones to some extend but mostly only screen resolution, cpu, gpu and cooling. The smaller things like USB ports are not as configurable as you might thing.

Yup, it’s as simple as that 🙂. That’s the beauty of Linux. If something doesn’t suit you, you have so many alternatives that you can try out.

I’m curious to see how the new installer feels and whether it’s really better than the old one.

Can we get a way to set up dnf5 on it? Thank you.

Just install dnf5 from the repositories and you’re good to go.

I am a boring person and use what my DE gives me by default. Konsole is very good and I also use Yakuake a lot but I will also take a closer look at Kitty.
