#fydeos — Public Fediverse posts

Since #FydeOS was a bust on the #ebox, I did try a few other distros to see what sticks.

1) Tried #EasyOS. It was neat to play around with but not my cup of tea.

2) Attemptedto install #Fedora #LXDE, all three attempts failed during the install process.

3) currently running #AlpineLinux with #LXQT.  This might be the one I stick with for a while.


Anyone have any good ideas for a low spec cpu that has to much ram pc? The ebox is running an Intel Celeron 3965U with 16 gigs of ram?

After more tinkering, I feel #FydeOS was a bust. The goal was to make a light weight media streaming box (either with the ebox or the N100 mini pc). Video quality was all over the place and there was no good way to fix it/make consistent between apps and web apps.

Also to get the most out of it you will more likely use one’s Google Account. At that point, I suggest using #ChromeOSFlex

Okay team, I did some more tinkering. I decided to try #FydeOS on my #N100 mini pc instead of the #ebox; this allows me to do the “modern” installation instead of the slim. I get a performance boost too; win-win.

Im a bit in the fence. The OS itself is super easy to use and what not. But with streaming the video quality is all over the place. I can get full 1080 on Youtube but HBO Max is super fuzzy. I will test out more streaming services as I have too many and will report back.

Still playing with the Framework 12, now the system is a triple boot, as I installed FydeOS in addition of #popos and #haikuos .

There, tablet mode is working quite well:
* with a virtual keyboard respecting the selected layout in the OS,
* the physical keyboard and touchpad being disabled in tablet mode.

Unfortunately, there is no screen rotation despite the option being active in the settings.

As much as I don’t like chrome, I must admit the system is really nice to use.

Ok, this sounds interesting! Does anyone have any experience with this? My old #SurfacePro6 could use a refresh, and it's not like I'm going to go back to #Windows any time soon... #FydeOS #Linux #Android #ChromeOS #alternative #tech #OperatingSystem #xda

So with the kiddo being sick and it being a slow say overall I decided to install #FydeOS on a spare drive in the #ebox. Here is to a little bit of excitement for the day.

The Register: FydeOS offers ChromeOS without the Google strings attached . “Fyde Innovations’ FydeOS is a rebuild of ChromiumOS with a difference. In fact, with several differences, some of which may make it appealing to Google skeptics. Broadly speaking, FydeOS can turn any PC or laptop into a Chromebook, complete with Android apps, and it can use a free Fyde account in place of a Google […]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna stick with FydeOS for a bit... Most of what I do is on the web anyway & for those things that actually require an app (Email, Matrix & XMPP for example) I've got access to Android apps via F-Droid & the Play Store. Bonus is that I can use a local account with FydeOS (which you can't do with ChromeOS/ChromeOS Flex, btw) and minimize what data Google collects about me. Only sources of data left are the Play Store & YouTube as the majority of Android apps I've installed within FydeOS were obtained via F-Droid. I can also use Linux apps, but really haven't had a need for that subsystem of FydeOS yet. #FydeOS #Chromium #Android #FDroidApp

Okay, last chance. I will try to make #ZorinOS work on a 32-bit UEFI.

I should copy-paste the bootloader from #Fedora and redirect the EFI Boot entry to the 32-bit bootloader, which I suspect is the same old shim.efi.

Let's see if my assumptions are correct. Otherwise, I will shove in ChromeOS Flex and call it a day, because is VERY touchscreen friendly and more compatible than #FydeOS.
