      Likely due to being a prototype. Production laptops from Tuxedo tend to have the “TUX” penguin in a circle logo on the Super key by default. They also have been offering custom engraved keyboard (even with the entire keyboard engraved from scratch to the customer’s specifications) as added service, so probably there will be suppliers or production facility to change the Super key.

      By the way, there was one YouTube channel that ended up ordering a laptop with Windings engraving from them: https://youtu.be/nidnvlt6lzw?t=186

    Nice. My next Laptop will be a MNT Reform, but if the performance of the Schenker/Tuxedo ARM laptop is right I wouldn’t be averse to buying one as well.

    This looks great. That would be quite a powerful low-weight machine with long battery life. If they won’t be too expensive (and gaming works on them) I might get one. At least RuneLite seems to already support ARM64 on Linux and these chips also put more spotlight on ARM trough Windows on ARM.

      Well you will VERY likely need FEX for “Gaming” (if you talk about x86_64 proprietary Windows software)

      I am sure Xonotic and others are already available on ARM Linux.

    there’s been a lot of concern that Snapdragon X-based PCs might be locked down to Windows, and while it remains unclear just how easy it will be to install a GNU/Linux distribution on a Snapdragon X PC that ships with Windows, it’s nice to know that at least one company is looking to release a model that will come with Linux pre-installed.

    What does that mean? Are they not using UEFI?

    I just hope they use Coreboot.

    Btw are there any FOSS Coreboot compatible ARM Chromebooks worth looking at?
