Thanks for sharing your experience with FydeOS! Really appreciate it. ❤

@Sheikhm007 10 ай бұрын

I tried both chrome os flex and fyde os, in my opinion fyde os is much better than chrome os flex as it supports dual boot. I am having a issue with both chrome os flex and fyde os, both of these os don’t detect my wired headset.

@AdmiralSym 11 ай бұрын

I have always really liked chrome os (or chrome os derivatives) for hardware with minimal resources. Hopefully there's an update to Fyde to include the newer features like you mentioned! I am always seeking portable hardware

@LazyPCRehab 11 ай бұрын

I ran FydeOS on my Surface Go 3 for the majority of my time owning it. I wish either Google or Fyde would make a Dolby Atmos-Type app. The sound on Windows devices with Chrome OS installed on them is subpar at best.

Looks great - would appreciate a longer term follow-up down the road!

Wait they charge you for a version of Chrome OS and you don't even get the latest build? That's pretty brutal. Also doesn't normal chrome OS support android apps? You are acting like it's a selling point of this version but I thought that had been baked into the OS for several years now.

@scaryifliteral 11 ай бұрын

The version of Chrome OS you can install on any device is called Flex and it does not support Android apps. It also would not have Surface hardware working out of the box. Strong opinions should be based on facts 😬

Hey Shane, you can easily change to dark mode within the KZbin app, you just have to go into your Google settings icon in the app and change it to dark mode.

Right, but I am looking for a universal dark mode as not all apps have a specific setting for it

How well does this dual boot? I wonder if it saves more battery. With my Asus X13, my GTX1650 GPU would kill the battery life. But if it uses the iGPU, this could be an awesome way to minimize the bloat and background waste of Windows.

@aicovermakerdude 5 ай бұрын

Don't bother installing FydeOS, because it doesn't work on Nvidia GPUs If ever the installation somehow works, expect major visual bugs

Great video! And a great option for the Surface go line. I tried this with my Surface go 2 and found out that when I tried to play x265 (HEVC) filed it couldn't do this well. Something about a missing codec, I tried to fix this but didn't manage. On windows 11 this file format played great with hardware decoding. Is this working on yours? Finally I installed Blissos and it's working really great on my Surface Go🙂

Great concept but I'm not sold with the subscription pricing. Linux + linux-surface kernel gives you much greater functionality and a similar extension in battery life for free.

@Andrewski8506 11 ай бұрын

really interesting! I've got an original Surface Go (Pentium 4415Y-1.6GHz, 8GB RAM, 128GB). Its getting pretty slow. I wonder how FydeOS would work on mine and if the 8gb of ram would bring that old processor along. It's also got it's own internet. I'm wondering if fydeOS supports that or if that would mess with my carrier's support. Would be amazing if that was the case. I've been using ChromeOS more exclusively with a work laptop. Would love to make the switch and have that tablet functionality/mobility. I don't know of any ChromeOS tablets with at least 4G capabilities and 8gb of RAM. I wish the new Duet 3 had 4G or 5G capabilities.

Being in IT, I am always very skeptical of custom ROMs/ISO/OS modification that is not done or approved by the OS provider. Any redflags you could possible spot? This would go nice with a Celeron 4G RAM/64 GB storage Asus I have, Windows is simply no longer optimal to use on it.

@@scaryifliteral Firstly, FydeOS shares its roots with ChromeOS, both stemming from The Chromium Project's open-source Chromium OS. This relationship is analogous to how the open-source Chromium browser relates to Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Secondly, as a company based in both London and China, we prioritize data privacy.

Two things to mention that I’m not sure were in this video. 1st you can run the os directly off a usb drive to test it out before even installing it to your internal drive. 2nd you don’t need to even initially use your Google accounts and can just run a local user if you are concerned at all about security.

I see the version for my surface go is $15 a year but is it because it includes all the touch screen goodies? What about if I get the free version of fyde and manually install the touch screen goodies? And is there any other rooms that compare fairly well for the surface go 1824?

I am going to be a devil advocate and say it's not, because it has a 90 days security patch cycle, which is great if you want to use an unsupported device, 15 per year is barely 1.5 dollars per month , for a device that can give life to otherwise useless devices.

You flash it to a usb drive. Then you boot into it from the usb drive. From there you can either run the installer to flash it to the internal storage or just run it off the usb drive. It’s pretty intuitive when you do it.
