TUXEDO Control Center

The TUXEDO Control Center (short: TCC) gives TUXEDO laptop users full control over their hardware like CPU cores, fan speed and more.
To get a more detailed description of features, plans and the ideas behind please check our press release (english | german) and info pages (english | german).

Using it

There are pre-build packages for Ubuntu 16.04/18.04/20.04 as well as openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed available at our repositories. For details please have a look over here.

Note: TCC depends on the tuxedo-io module from the tuxedo-keyboard package for some core functionality like fan control.
