uy this over a generic gaming chassis. No fingerprint reader. Suspend with the 4090 is the standard NVIDIA caveat but Tuxedo tunes it better than most. SO-DIMM RAM to 96 GB.
- Fedora Minor setup

- Bluetooth : works
- Fingerprint : unknown
- Webcam : works
- Audio : works
- Suspend : needs tweak
Fedora works but you lose the Tuxedo Control Center integration, so fan and mux control fall back to manual. RPM Fusion akmod-nvidia for the 4090.
