Linux hardware vendor TUXEDO Computers unveiled today the Intel variant of the InfinityBook Max 15 Linux-powered laptop, which was previously only available for purchase with an AMD processor.

The Intel-powered InfinityBook Max 15 features an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor with 16 cores and 16 threads, 24 MB cache, and up to 5.1 GHz clock speed, up to 128 GB DDR5 5600MHz Kingston RAM, and up to 8TB of NVMe PCIe 4.0 WD_Blue SSD storage.

The Linux laptop also includes mid-range graphics cards in the form of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 with 8 GB GDDR7 VRAM, which are connected to a gorgeous 15.3-inch WQXGA Omnia LED display featuring a productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio, 500 nits brightness, and 300Hz refresh rate.

Gnome tweaks and dconf say right-click resizing should work. It does, but only with the touchpad buttons. If I use my Logitech G603, it refuses to cooperate. Took a while to figure out why, so I’m sharing in case someone else is banging their head against the same brick wall.

Turns out, the Logitech G603’s right click triggers both BTN_RIGHT (273) and BTN_EXTRA (276) at the same time. A normal mouse would just use BTN_RIGHT, with BTN_EXTRA reserved for a separate physical button. Apparently, Gnome can’t handle this kind of messy double-input nonsense and blocks right-click resizing, which is mildly infuriating. I've tried this mouse with three different Linux computers, and the result is always the same. This is clearly caused by the mouse, not the system.

Side note: I absolutely love that sort of smooth resizing. If you haven't used it yet, I highly recommend trying it out. I can’t believe how Windows users live without it. Imagine trying to aim for the 1 pixel wide edge of a window every time.

Anyway, if you’re running into the same issue, check what your mouse is actually sending when you right-click. Install libinput-tools and run:

sudo libinput debug-events

My output looks like this:

event7   POINTER_BUTTON               +1.688s	BTN_RIGHT (273) pressed, seat count: 1
event7   POINTER_BUTTON               +1.688s	BTN_EXTRA (276) pressed, seat count: 1
event7   POINTER_BUTTON               +1.935s	BTN_RIGHT (273) released, seat count: 0
event7   POINTER_BUTTON               +1.935s	BTN_EXTRA (276) released, seat count: 0

As you can see, a single right click produces four lines corresponding to pressing and releasing two buttons. If I can disable the BTN_EXTRA (276) input, I’ll stick with my Logitech. If not, I'll probably switch to one of my backup mice.

I'm planning to test those later this week. Hopefully, they know how to behave. Next time I'm buying a (used) mouse, I'll definitely test it this way before paying. I don't want my hardware to require extra troubleshooting just to do basic things.

I'll be looking into that tweaking side later as well, now that I know what to look for. If you have any tips, tricks, and sources to check, feel free to drop them in them here.

Update: G305 and Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse don't mess around with the clicks like that. Those have a completely normal right click. Only the Logitech G603 is doing something weird here.

This 2.6 pound laptop has a 2.8K 120 Hz display, 99 Wh battery, and Linux or Windows options

For context: Tuxedo uses Schenker laptops, so we can expect a linux laptop version of this when it releases.

Does this even exist? I have a brother mfc but trying to print anything at all will spitout a blank page and partway feed 2 more and call it a jam, exact same way every time and this also prevents scanning until it is cleared and the drum is jiggled before closing the front panel. I also have a standalone colour laser printer.

I'm not super excited about the idea of getting another mfc when I have a working printer so I'm looking for recommendations on standalone linux compatible scanners that have wired network capability, ideally with document feeder. So far I've looked at a few but I have low confidence on the linux functionality and network jack isn't even mentioned in spec sheets where I can see it in the picture.

Hi, I'm looking for a good laptop to run linux that has a touchscreen with a stylus to take math notes(ik I should be using latex or typst but im too lazy) and good battery life, preferably one that folds into tablet mode to make taking notes easier.

I'm not planning on doing any gaming or video editing on it, just web/notes/programming and potentially a windows VM for software that doesn't work on linux. I also want to try getting into some ricing :). I've been looking at the lenovo yoga 9i, it seems to be pretty good and I found some people that had good linux experiences with it. One thing that would be nice is an hdmi port which the yoga doesn't have as my job involves a lot of AV stuff, but I can just get an adapter.

Any other suggestions? I can probably spend like 1000$ on it but obviously less is better, I'll probably get it used/refurbished from ebay.

I recently purchased a T480s and after taking it apart to do a badly-needed clean, half the screws inside are missing, e.g. no screw for SSD, only 1 for the battery, various ones for the connections etc.

If I buy a specific set for the T480s, they're like £35, so I'm thinking of buying a large generic set from ali - what sizes do I need though?

M2 x 3, M2 x 4? for both the normal and the 'fat head' shorter ones?

Are there any others?

Also, bonus question, the previous owner did something funky with the screen and the sides don't seem to be pushed in equally all the way around - can I simply just apply force and push the screen into its housing so the sides align up equally, or do I need to actually take it apart?
