Vinzenz Vietzke of TUXEDO Computers announced today that the German electronics manufacturer, which is known for selling laptops and desktop computers that ship pre-loaded with Linux, created their own distro.

The news comes just a week after System76 computer reseller announced Pop!_OS as their own GNU/Linux distribution based on Ubuntu and the GNOME desktop environment, and it now looks like TUXEDO Computers follow suit and announce TUXEDO Xubuntu, their own Xubuntu-based distro, which will power all of their computers in the near future.

"We have been working on this project for several months. We have been thinking about the usability of the desktop, have included user feedback in our considerations and made some surveys on desktop usage," says Vinzenz Vietzke. "The result of our research, surveys and countless tests is now that we have chosen Xfce based on Ubuntu."

    that its a preconfigured xfce with dotfiles, .menus and .desktops for the boatload of things that don't have them or don't have them 'done right' .. printers preinstalled.. synaptic at the ready .. then it would be a sweet value added deal for everyone i know who's never heard of the command-line and wouldnt know a bash from a dos.

    i don't get that one person who's hating on the thread here. its just a new flower in the garden and xfce _is a sweet environment that doesn't need to proof anything and which doesnt get in your way. so let them customize for and care about their low-tech-comprehensions customers already. -- tl;dr /// experiments -- thumbs up !
