Request to add support for Tuxedo laptops #129

Open Raltay opened 5 months ago

Raltay commented 5 months ago

Hello,

I see that currently Bazzite has dedicated images for Framework/Surface/Asus laptops (as seen in Image Picker). Would it be possible/feasible to also add dedicated images for Tuxedo latpops?

From what I gather, this would require building/including kernel modules/drivers from tuxedo-drivers and also preinstalling Tuxedo Control Center app - which itself depends on said tuxedo-drivers.

I found that there was already ticket related to that in akmods repo, but I'm not sure if any decision regarding it has been made. Also (in the meantime), tuxedo-keyboard has been deprecated in favor of tuxedo-drivers.

I'm asking this because I have a Tuxedo laptop on the way (Pulse 14 Gen 3) and there are some HW related features (KB backlight, fan control etc.) which won't work properly with Linux kernel without those drivers. If possible, I'd like to use Bazzite or Bluefin on this laptop since Bazzite has been great on my Steam Deck OLED so far.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards

Happy to look into this, will need to port drivers to ublue-os/akmods and then go from there.

Thank you @KyleGospo, I'll be happy to test it on my laptop once test image to install/'rpm-ostree rebase (...)' will be ready.

Good morning.

For my part, I have recently been using Bazzite to discover.

I usually use fedora or archlinux. (I have two tuxedo machines) tuxedo provided a deposit for fedora.

on bazzite I managed to add the deposit without too much problem. (the same way as for fedora)

on the other hand if I try to install a tuxedo-driver and the control-center. you need kernel-devel and dkms.

but on bazzite I still have dependency problems when installing dkms and kernel-devel.

thanks for this linux distribution. I loved having a tuxedo version too

best regards

Are there any news on this? Tuxedo Keyboard is required for CPU booost otherwise games run really bad.
