đŸ’ģ Operating System Options

The Fydetab Duo comes with FydeOS pre-installed by default, but it also supports booting and running other open-source operating systems.

Default System: FydeOS Quick Start​

When you first press the power button on your Fydetab Duo and boot it up, the system will default to the FydeOS operating system.

Out-of-Box Experience​

  • Setup Wizard: On first boot, FydeOS will launch the "out-of-box experience" process, commonly referred to as the "Setup Wizard."
  • Required Information: The system will ask for some information, such as your language, keyboard layout, Wi-Fi details, and user account credentials.
  • Account Options: You can choose to continue with FydeOS using a FydeOS account, Google account, or a completely offline "local account."
    • If you don't have an account, the system will provide options to create one.
    • Using FydeOS's online account will enable additional cloud features like profile and preference synchronization.

Experiencing FydeOS​

  • Browser: After entering the desktop, you can launch the "Chromium Browser" to access your favorite web applications and begin your journey on FydeOS.
  • Android Subsystem: FydeOS will prompt you to activate the "Android Subsystem." Follow the prompts to accept the terms and run Android applications.
  • Feel free to explore the FydeOS App Store, where you can install some essential quality applications.

Advanced Features​

  • Linux Subsystem: If you're familiar with Linux command line, you can enable the Linux subsystem in FydeOS, which provides a completely independent Debian 12 environment.
    • This feature can be found in "FydeOS Settings" - "Developer Options."
