About Tuxedo OS
TUXEDO OS is published by TUXEDO Computers, a German vendor of Linux laptops and desktops, and it is the system those machines ship with, offered freely to everyone else. It combines an Ubuntu long-term-support base with a current KDE Plasma desktop, updated well ahead of Ubuntu's own KDE packaging, and adds the TUXEDO Control Center, an application for managing fan behavior, performance profiles, keyboard lighting, and power settings on supported hardware. The vendor maintains its own driver and update repositories on top of Ubuntu's APT ecosystem, and the default software selection stays close to mainstream desktop needs. Because a hardware company supports it commercially, polish and driver issues receive steady attention. TUXEDO OS suits KDE fans who want a conservative base under a fresh Plasma, with or without the matching laptop. An OpenFactory VM in the browser demonstrates the Plasma experience before any hardware decision.
All Tuxedo OS releases and desktopsWhat happens when you press Try now
The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh Tuxedo OS virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.
Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean Tuxedo OS Current KDE.
How KDE behaves in a browser VM
KDE Plasma is a Qt desktop known for how far it can be reshaped: panels, widgets, window rules, and themes are all adjustable from system settings. It ships the KDE application family, including Dolphin for files and Konsole for the terminal.
Questions about this target
Is this an official Tuxedo OS image?
Yes. Launches boot from OpenFactory's verified copy of official Tuxedo OS media with the KDE desktop. The catalog records where each source came from and when it was verified, and visitor sessions never modify the stored image.
Do changes persist between sessions?
No. Every launch runs on a fresh overlay over an immutable base image, and the machine state is discarded when the session ends. No visitor sees another visitor's changes, and every session starts from the same clean Tuxedo OS Current KDE.
Can I get a customized Tuxedo OS instead of the stock demo?
Yes. The OpenFactory builder turns this release into your own image: pick packages, services, users, and hardening, then build it, test it in a browser VM, and download the result for real hardware.
