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.
