Request to add support for Tuxedo laptops #898

Open Raltay opened 7 months ago

Raltay commented 7 months ago

Hello,

I see that currently Bluefin 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 https://github.com/ublue-os/akmods/issues/30, 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

Yeah this shouldn't be a problem, when those akmods get added we can just enable it in bazzite/bluefin. That'll also enable people to add support in their custom images.

EDIT: leave this issue open so we can remember to enable it in bluefin.
