      Distribution support outside of the standard Ubuntu/tuxedo os was terrible for a long time. The fan support was essentially broken on my laptop except on the officially supported systems. Your can manually compile the (bloaty node.js) tuxedo control center, but instructions on GitHub are wrong and incomplete.

      I recently saw that they now added support for Debian 13 though, so that might be worth another try.

      There is also a community project tuxedo-rs but with limited device support. Doesn’t support fan control on my device but is much nicer than the original otherwise.

        I have one running Arch. Works well, AUR has the tuxedo control centre and Tuxedo provides a short guide for Arch.

        I would not use an unsupported OS on a laptop, of course you had trouble with it. Laptops have always been notorious for having worse hardware support in Linux.

        This is not a ding against the laptop.
