Tuxedo InfinityBook Max 15 Linux laptop offers desktop-grade power
Tuxedo designs and builds Linux computers. The InfinityBook Max 15 is the German firm’s newest Linux laptop, and it arrives with Wayland as the standard graphics system, even on models that use Nvidia GPUs.
The new laptop is the company’s third model to use Wayland by default, following the Polaris 15 Gen5 and Gemini 17 Gen3, which both faced issues running X11 under Ubuntu and Tuxedo OS.

Under Wayland, the InfinityBook Max 15 starts on the integrated GPU, and users can run applications on the dedicated Nvidia GPU via the dgpu-run command.
X11 compatibility is still being improved, Tuxedo says, with updates expected later through Ubuntu and X11 itself. For now the laptop offers a stable Wayland setup without the display and switching issues found in earlier builds.
