Gnoppix Linux was developed in September 2002 and was based on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody).

After the successful public launch of Gnoppix in 2003, Gnoppix Lead Andreas Müller was hired by Canonical to implement Gnoppix Linux LiveCD functionality into the 1st Ubuntu 4.10 aka Warty in 2004. Since Ubuntu and Gnoppix Linux became identical, the Gnoppix Project was stopped, as there was no longer a need for it. Andreas then founded the Kubuntu Project.

Gnoppix Linux was relaunched in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gnoppix is and was always based on Debian GNU Linux. It is free and secure to use, no personal datas were taken nor uploaded to somewhere.

Gnoppix Linux is a user-friendly Linux distribution that makes the power of Linux accessible to everyone. It comes with a familiar user interface and all the apps and tools you need for everyday use.

Gnoppix Linux is the perfect operating system for people who want a fast, reliable, and secure operating system that is also easy to use.

Gaming ready
Gnoppix' Gaming Environment comes preconfigured to support a large set of Windows video games on Gnoppix Linux.

Thanks to our installers you can have immediate access to the most famous game stores (e.g. Epic Games Store, EA Launcher, Battle.net etc.) and then play your favorite games, just like on Windows.

Compatible with your documents and files
Gnoppix makes it easy to access and use your files, no matter what format they're in. It comes pre-installed with LibreOffice, which lets you open, edit, and save Microsoft Office documents. And if you have Windows installed on your computer, you can easily access your Windows files from within Gnoppix.

Gnoppix Connect
Enabling communication between all your devices.

Shared Files and Links between devices.

Want to transfer that album with photos from the latest family trip or birthday party between your computer and smartphone? Gnoppix Connect makes this easier than ever before. You can also browse your phone files remotely or quickly open a link on the other device.

GnoppixTV
GnoppixTV is an IPTV streaming application with support for live TV, movies and series.

It can support multiple IPTV providers of the following types: M3U URLs, Xtream API's and local M3U playlists.

Easy backup and restore
Gnoppix TimeMachine allows you to easily backup restore a previous state of your Linux Desktop

If enabled, Gnoppix will automatically create a new snapshot when you install a new dependency.

If something goes wrong, go to the Snapshots section, click restore, and restore the previous state. Supereasy.

"Making Linux accessible to the general public" - this is our mission at TUXEDO Computers. With TUXEDO OS, we not only offer Linux notebooks and PCs but also the operating system optimized for our hardware.

Fast, secure, powerful and covering all application purposes in the best possible way:
The operating system tailor-made for your TUXEDO!

Based on the KDE plasma desktop, TUXEDO OS creates a user experience that is also suitable for beginners with a large and flexible feature set for Linux professionals.

Why do we invest a lot of extra work and offer our own distribution, especially since there is already a large number out there for every taste?

With its Linux optimized hardware, TUXEDO delights customers with different levels of knowledge about computers in general and Linux in particular.

This ranges from customers who come into contact with Linux for the first time via a TUXEDO and are happy about the comfort of a system pre-installed down to the smallest detail, to professionals who have been using Linux for years. Between these two poles we support distributions like Ubuntu, Kubuntu or openSUSE for our customers and also give noncommittal assistance for other distributions.

But no matter if you are a beginner or a professional - for users who just want to switch on their TUXEDO and start working out-of-the-box and get fast help in case of problems, we offer TUXEDO OS.

With TUXEDO OS you can easily manage your everyday life! Whether it is surfing the web, writing emails, creating presentations or calculations, editing photos or even playing games - TUXEDO OS comes with a multitude of useful apps for most use cases and offers hundreds of additional, reviewed apps (mostly) free to download via the integrated app store.

The developer community KDE, which is also responsible for the TUXEDO OS underlying desktop system "Plasma", has developed a number of apps, of which we present the best apps and tools from KDE in a separate article.

The integration of all necessary and tested hardware drivers (including the proprietary but performant NVIDIA graphics driver) ensures flawless functionality on TUXEDO hardware, but also on many third-party PCs, which makes tedious manual driver installations are a thing of the past.

Surf the web, work remotely from anywhere you want and across operating systems with cloud-based web apps, write and receive emails and chat with colleagues, friends and family. TUXEDO OS gives you all the possibilities to easily port all your web activities from Windows or macOS to Linux.

With Mozilla Firefox, which comes pre-installed as a .deb package in TUXEDO OS due to performance and functionality reasons, you surf the web easily and safely.

Manage your emails conveniently with Mozilla Thunderbird. Whether it is writing, reading, or accessing sent or received emails and file attachments without internet connection, Thunderbird keeps you fully organized.

Did you know that many well-known and supposedly not Linux-compatible apps, such as WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams, Skype or even a feature-reduced version of Adobe Photoshop are available as so-called web apps?

Web apps are particularly known from the popular Chromebooks, but web apps run on any device with Internet connection: Since they run fully in a web browser web apps are platform-independent. All you need is a compatible browser and web access. This means that whether you use Windows, macOS, Linux or Android, a web app works the same way on any platform.

Another advantage is that you don't need to native apps, which take up space on your computer. Save storage on your TUXEDO and just use web apps where you need an internet connection anyway and eliminate all compatibility issues between Linux, Windows or macOS.

Secure? Absolutely!
At TUXEDO we care a lot about data protection and at the same time transparency, which we are commited to in the form of complete open source company philosophy. The source code of every driver and every software package from TUXEDO is freely available for anyone to review.

Needless to say, TUXEDO OS also follows this philosophy. Therefore, we do not preset any telemetry settings (= collection and automatic transfer of data for evaluation purposes) or any advertising or demo software Thus, for the pre-installation of Norton Antivirus or Candy Crush or the need of an online registration, we unfortunately have to refer you to our big competitor based in Redmond, USA.

But with Linux you are also very well protected against viruses and Trojans! Due to the comparatively low distribution, Linux is on the one hand a much less attractive target for hackers than macOS or especially Windows.

On the other hand, malware can hardly spread on the free operating system, because Linux relies on a strict separation of userspace and root environment, which prevents access to large parts of the operating system and makes life much more difficult for viruses and Trojans.

Additional anti-virus software, as under Windows, is therefore hardly common under Linux and is only recommended if you have devices running Windows in your LAN. If you still want to be on the even safer side, we recommend the open source antivirus program ClamAV.

Freely adjust your desktop just the way you like it!
You want to adjust your operating system freely according to your ideas? Then TUXEDO OS, or rather its basis, the KDE Plasma desktop system, is the right choice for you.

The desktop environment "Plasma" developed by the free software community "KDE" offers the most options for customizing the graphical interface of your operating system of all Linux desktop systems.

At first glance, the many options can overwhelm newcomers in particular, but don't worry: basic settings, such as changing the desktop wall paper, positioning the taskbar on the screen, adjusting the size of fonts and icons, as well as changing the system colors is easily done in KDE Plasma or TUXEDO OS.

In this way, the mighty desktop environment offers - according to the motto "Simple by default. Powerful when needed." - both beginners and experienced Linux users a wide variety of customization options.

Please understand, that general questions about third-party software or hardware cannot be answered. Please refer to appropriate forums (e.g. UbuntuUsers.de) for questions about popular open source software (Thunderbird, GIMP etc.). The research effort for application-specific questions is immense and currently not manageable. However basic compatibility questions about TUXEDO hardware, questions about TUXEDO OS and other TUXEDO-related topics are of course welcome!

Garuda Linux  is a rolling distribution based on the Arch Linux that comes with a graphical installer (Calamares) for easy installation, and other advanced graphical tools for managing your system. It's a performance-oriented distribution that uses zram, a performance CPU governor, along with custom memory management software. Garuda has striven to provide system stability by including the Timeshift backup utility.

We are happy to release the brand new Raptor Eagle release on March 5 2023, one of our biggest and proudest releases to date. This release we focused on a brand new theme for Dr460nized as well as major internal and usability changes. See what months of improvements look like!

We ship our own browser, FireDragon which is forked from LibreWolf. Amongst its features are privacy-friendly defaults, enhanced KDE integration and a small collection of useful addons. The default search engine is SearX instance run on our server.

While being a rolling release distro, our goal is to ensure that your system will not be left in an unbootable state after a problematic update. Thus, we use the BTRFS filesystem integrated with Snapper which employs an automatic snapshot feature, backing up the system configuration before each update. You can access recent snapshots directly from GRUB*

*Garuda Linux does not imply that BTRFS snapshots are a full backup solution. If you wish to ensure your data's security you must implement your own full data backup regimen. Garuda is not responsible in any way or manner if data loss of any kind occurs. The user is solely responsible for ensuring the safety of their own data. Likewise, Garuda cannot guarantee that BTRFS snapshots can recover your system to a functional state in the event of a serious system breakage.
