## Manjaro Linux
check what kernel `uname -a` and install linux headers
sudo pacman -S linux515-headers
install tuxedo-keyboard
sudo pacman -S tuxedo-keyboard-dkms

How to get TUXEDO Control Center working on Fedora 36
The tuxedo-keyboard and tuxedo-control-center packages are already available in the Fedora copr repositories, but the tuxedo-keyboard package is currently outdated and will not work with the newest Fedora kernel (currently 5.17.6-300.fc36.x86_64). This is how to fix it in the meantime.
Just install both packages as you would normally
sudo dnf install kernel-devel
sudo dnf copr enable kallepm/tuxedo-keyboard
sudo dnf copr enable kallepm/tuxedo-control-center
sudo dnf install tuxedo-control-center
You will notice that fan control isn't working, because the tuxedo-keyboard package is outdated and you will have to compile the newest version yourself.
Clone the tuxedo-keyboard GitHub repo:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard.git
cd tuxedo-keyboard
git checkout release
Then build the module and ignore any error about vmlinux being unavailable:
make clean && make
Add the module as DKMS module:
make clean
sudo make dkmsinstall
And finally load the modules with modprobe:
sudo modprobe tuxedo_keyboard
sudo modprobe tuxedo_io
Now the TUXEDO Control Center should work again or maybe after a reboot.

I had some "fun" recently when I realized that my keyboard on my main
laptop was lagging. Nearly every character at the end of a command or
at the beginning of a typing sequence were lost. I didn't noticed when
this exactly took over, but I started to hate this behaviour.
So I thought it might be a good idea to install the drivers from where
I bought the laptop in the first place.
## Fedora 37
Now it's already a few months ago since I made my notes about this,
I'm already running Manjaro Linux for a week or two so I'll just
format my notes a bit and let this reside on this page, for later use
I might have to re-investigate that sh** again...
~~~console
$ sudo dnf install kernel-devel
$ sudo dnf copr enable kallepm/tuxedo-keyboard
$ sudo dnf copr enable kallepm/tuxedo-control-center
$ sudo dnf install tuxedo-control-center
~~~
Since I usually won't need the Control-Center, and to only get actual
(as in up-to-date) drivers, clone the git repository.
~~~console
$ cd $HOME/git
$ git clone https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard.git
$ cd tuxedo-keyboard
$ git checkout release
~~~
Then build the module and ignore any error about vmlinux being
unavailable:
~~~console
$ make clean && make
~~~
Add the module as DKMS module:
~~~console
$ make clean
$ sudo make dkmsinstall
~~~
And finally load the modules with modprobe:
~~~console
$ sudo modprobe tuxedo_keyboard
~~~
`tuxedo_io` should normally be automatically loaded when you load
`tuxedo_keyboard`.

## Manjaro (Sway)
Check what kernel version is running (`uname -a`)
and install the linux headers for that kernel.
~~~console
$ sudo pacman -S linux515-headers
~~~
Install `tuxedo-keyboard-dkms` from the wonderful AUR repository.
~~~console
$ sudo pacman -S tuxedo-keyboard-dkms
~~~
or if you use yay
~~~console
$ yay tuxedo-keyboard-dkms
~~~
Default values are crap (on my Polaris).
~~~console
$ echo "options tuxedo_keyboard color=WHITE" | sudo tee
/etc/modprobe.d/tuxedo_keyboard.conf
~~~
You may read on the tuxedo website that you load other colors
with `sudo modprobe tuxedo_keyboard color=BLUE` for example---
for me, this never worked. A reboot it is then for me.
They work on it, they say... But we know, this feature will never
be implemented. That state is now for 2 years since I bought that
"linux laptop" from Tuxedo. PS: I'd never buy one again.
