These components should provide plenty of power for playing the latest games at high frame rates, assuming the user is familiar with getting them to run on Linux.<\/p>\n

Tuxedo will start shipping the laptop in mid-December and give buyers the option of various Ubuntu LTS distros or Tuxedo’s own Ubuntu-based OS.<\/p>\n

Pricing starts at \u20ac1,699 (R34,763) for the entry-level model with 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD.<\/p>\n

Tom’s Hardware has speculated<\/strong><\/a> that the Sirius 16 Gen1 might be the world’s first Linux laptop with both an AMD CPU and GPU.<\/p>\n
