Testbench: Tuxedo Atlas S: tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-…

It's mini ITX, with 3 potential finishes: a jade green, a silver, and a matte black, which is the one they sent me.

It comes with Intel 13th or 14th gen CPUs, up to an i9 14900, it can accommodate 2 M.2 SSDs and 2 SATA 3 drives, up to 24 terabytes in total. It can come with or without dedicated graphics, which can go up to a Radeon RX 7700XT, or an Nvidia RTX 4070. It can also get up to 96 gigs of DDR5 RAM, and it obviously has wifi and bluetooth, and it comes with Linux preinstalled, Tuxedo OS being the default.

The model Tuxedo sent me has an i7 13700, 1TB of PCIe 3 SSD, 32 gigs of RAM, and the RX 7700XT with 12 gigs of VRAM.

Bazzite

So, Bazzite is a weird one: it's based on Fedora Atomic, so it's an "immutable" distro, and it's built using universal blue, which is a build system that lets you create tailored distro images for plenty of purposes.

I ran all the games at the native resolution of my monitor, so 3440x1440. Horizon is run using the latest version of Proton from Valve, the rest are native Linux games. Everything was ran at their max settings, at the native resolution, without any resolution scaling. Everything ran under Wayland, with all the latest updates applied.

So, For Horizon Zero Dawn, running the benchmark gave me an average of 80 FPS at these maxed out settings.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 105 FPS on average in the benchmark, and for Total War Warhammer 3 on the battle benchmark, it reached 56.4 FPS and 52.5 FPS on the campaign benchmark.

Nobara

Next is Nobara. This isn't an immutable distribution, it's Fedora, plus a lot of kernel patches, addons, drivers and tools focused specifically on gaming and on improving performance

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 106 FPS on average in the benchmark.
In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, I got 57 FPS on average, and 54.7 FPS on average for the campaign benchmark.
In Horizon Zero Dawn, Nobara got 80 FPS on average.

HoloISO

I also gave a shot to HoloISO, in its new immutable form, but it never managed to give me a bootable system, no matter how hard I tried.

Chimera OS

Chimera OS is an arch based distribution, it's an atomic distro, so immutable, and includes a bunch of emulation tools as well as optimizations for gaming. It defaults to GNOME as its desktop, compared to KDE for the other distros I tested.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 102 FPS on average in the benchmark, similar to other distros I tested.
In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, I got 55.3 FPS on average, and 51.1 FPS on average for the campaign benchmark.
In Horizon Zero Dawn, Chimera OS got 73 FPS on average, strangely lower than other distributions.

Tuxedo OS

Just for fun, I decided to also run all of these games on the preinstalled Tuxedo OS, to see if these gaming distros offer improved performance compared to a "normal" system. Here are the results.

In Horizon Zero Dawn, at the max resolution and max settings, with any upscaling, The Atlas S running Tuxedo OS got 81 FPS on average.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, at the max settings and resolution, Ubuntu 24.04 reached 106 FPS on average.

In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, at the max settings and resolution, I got 57 FPS on average, and in the campaign benchmark, it reached 54.9 FPS

Lyrics:
Fragile seams
I opened up too quick and all my dreams
Were walking out, I'd slowly lost my fire
With every single man a river cried
I had no sensation, completely numb, left with no satisfaction
I thought no one could ever get me high again
I swear, I was not looking

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, waited so long
I thought the real thing was a fake
I thought it was a tool to break me down
You proved me wrong again

[Chorus]If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
Like chocolate

[Verse 2]
Tastes so good
My heart's been mended, who'd have thought it would?
An empty bet and still I won the cash
A man who I love and who loves me back

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, waited so long
For love to heal me so I'd feel it
Thought it wasn't breathing, then you came
You proved me wrong again

[Chorus]If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
Like chocolate
If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me (show me)
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
Like chocolate

Come here, zoom in, catch the smile
There's no doubt it's from you
And I'm addicted to it now
Just one look, boy, to melt me down
Just one heart here to save me now
Your candy kisses are sweet, I know
Hold me tight, baby, don't let go
Just one look, boy, to melt me down
Just one heart here to save me now
Your candy kisses are sweet, I know
Hold me tight, baby, don't let go (like chocolate)
Just one look, boy, to melt me down
Just one heart here to save me now
Your candy kisses are sweet, I know
Hold me tight, baby, don't let go
Just one look, boy, to melt me down
Just one heart here to save me now
Your candy kisses are sweet, I know
Hold me tight, baby, don't let go

If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
Like chocolate

The Bee Gees' "How Deep Is Your Love" is a timeless ballad that beautifully expresses the depth of romantic feelings and emotional connection. With its smooth harmonies and heartfelt lyrics, this classic track continues to resonate with listeners, showcasing the group's exceptional songwriting and vocal talent.

Lyrics:
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall

And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Na na na, na na

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you...

Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" is a soulful and haunting track that delves into themes of heartbreak and despair. With her distinctive voice and poignant lyrics, Winehouse captures the raw emotions of loss and longing, making this song a powerful reflection of her artistry.

Lyrics:
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy

You went back to what you knew
So far removed
From all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny
Rollin' up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black
Black, black
Black, black
Black
I go back to
I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

Lyrics:
Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely

Yo, this one here goes out to all my players out there, man
Ya know, that got that one good girl, Lord
That's always been there, man
Like, took all the bullshit
But then one day, she can't take it no more and decide to leave

Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night
And I noticed my girl wasn't by my side
Coulda sworn I was dreamin' for her
I was feenin' so I had to take a little ride
Backtracking over these few years
Tryin' ta figure out what I do to make it go bad
'Cause ever since my girl left me
My whole life came crashing and I'm so

Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely

Can't believe I had a girl like you
And I just let you walk right outta my life
After all I put you through
You still stuck around and stayed by my side
What really hurt me is I broke your heart
Baby, you're a good girl and I had no right
I really wanna make things right
'Cause without you in my life girl, I'm so

Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely

Been all about the world, ain't never met a girl
That can take the things that you been through
Never thought the day would come where you'd get up and run
And I would be out chasing you
'Cause ain't nowhere in the globe I'd rather be
Ain't no one in the globe I'd rather see
Than the girl of my dreams that made me be
So happy but now so lonely

Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely

Never thought that I'd be alone
I didn't think you'd be gone this long
I just want you to call my phone
So stop playing girl and come on home
Baby girl, I didn't mean to shout
I want me and you to work it out
I never wished to ever hurt my baby
And it's drivin' me crazy 'cause I'm so

Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely

So lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
Mr. Lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
So lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
So lonely
Mr. Lonely
