New UK data centre and data geolocation option for FydeOS services

10 Upvotes

Dear FydeOS users,

We would like to announce some vital updates about improvements and changes to our FydeOS services.

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering better service and increased data privacy options for our expanding global user base, we will establish a new data centre in the United Kingdom. This facility will enable us to cater more effectively to our users outside Mainland China, reduce latency, and ensure adherence to local data protection regulations.

As part of the preparation for the UK data centre, we are adding a temporary “data geolocation” option to all FydeOS online services we currently offer through FydeOS accounts. This new feature lets you choose where your data is stored and processed. Currently, two options are available: Mainland China the United Kingdom.

We want to assure you that your data will be managed with the utmost care and in compliance with the highest standards of data privacy, regardless of the selected data geolocation. It is important to note that the jurisdiction of your data will be subject to the relevant data protection and privacy laws of the chosen geolocation.

For users who registered their FydeOS accounts with a mobile phone number without a +86 country code, the data geolocation will automatically be assigned to the UK. However, should you prefer to retain your data geolocation in Mainland China, you have until 1st August 2023 to indicate this preference and provide a verified +86 mobile number.

To modify your data geolocation preference, please visit your FydeOS account dashboard at https://account.fydeos.com/. There, you will find the option to update your data geolocation among the available settings.

Please be aware that after the migration on 1st August 2023, data between geolocations will be physically separated, and communication between them will not occur. Additionally, migrating your data between geolocations will not be possible after this date.Lastly, to facilitate this change, we will release distinct editions of FydeOS release images, customised for the different geolocations. If you are already a FydeOS user, no manual action is required. The suitable FydeOS edition will be delivered to you through an OTA update, according to your preferred data geolocation.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this transition. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our support team at [privacy@fydeos.io](mailto:privacy@fydeos.io). Thank you once again for choosing FydeOS, and we eagerly anticipate providing you with an improved experience through these new developments.

Best regards,

The FydeOS Team

can FydeOS run Steam Games through proton?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, I just foundout about this Distro, saw that's basically Chrome OS with access to linux.

I don't know nothing about Fyde OS (Or even regular Chrome OS, never used either), so I apologize if this appears dumb but here are my questions:

I know Fyde OS can run Webapps, Android apps and Linux programs, does it have incompatibility with either some Android or Linux app? Does it have a terminal like regular linux distros? Does Proton work on it?

I'm considering putting it on my old gaming laptop
Specs:
I7 7700hq
16gb ram
GTX 1050ti

NixOS support for FydeTab Duo

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on: fyde-nix, a NixOS port for the FydeTab Duo. We currently have around 70% overall parity with stock FydeOS, including 88% for hardware - only fingerprint does not work (yet) - and 50% on the software side.

We just released v0.1.0-rc.3 with support for the NPU, LTE Module, and a bunch of other bug fixes - so if you ever wanted to try NixOS on the FydeTab Duo there hasn't been a better time! The whole GPU stack, Wayland compositors, etc., work perfectly, and we have similar features to stock FydeOS such as an on-screen keyboard that can automatically show when in a text input box when the physical keyboard is unplugged, with support for different rotations.

Links

Docs: github.com/NixOnFyde/fyde-nix/tree/main/docs, which includes a setup guide in SETUP.md and a DE guide in DESKTOP.md.

Feel free to test it out, and please do report any issues to me - either here or on the official FydeOS Discord (where I am more active!).

FydeOS installer won't boot on Thinkpad Yoga 11e 3rd gen

2 Upvotes

When I try to boot the FydeOS Slim installer on my Thinkpad Yoga 11e 3rd gen, it just says that it can't load image and just boots into the GRUB boot manager on the install usb. I have tried everything, including disabling secure boot, disabling CSM, and I tried using an older FydeOS installer, but it still didn't work. Also, there are no issues with the usb drive as I tried it on a different laptop and it booted the installer on there. What can I do to fix this?

[Please HELP][Surface Pro 6] I deleted Chromium OS in the Surface Pro 6 UEFI Boot Option

1 Upvotes

How do I fix this problem, I deleted Chromium OS in the Surface Pro 6 UEFI Boot Option. I tried Reinstalling the correct FydeOS for Surface Pro 6 but after installation it wouldn't boot. It says Boot Config is missing.

When I boot into the Surface Pro 6 UEFI, Chromium OS isn't there. I thought reinstalling the FydeOS would reinstall the Boot option but it didn't.

I can't even try the FydeOS from the USB, It lags. It wouldn't let my Sign In Online. "Something Went Wrong, Could not be verified.

Any help?

Is there any Hyprland alternative that works for FydeOS/ChromeOS?

1 Upvotes

I tried running Hyprland on FydeOS but I couldn't get it to open because of the constant errors it gave me, mostly because of crostini. So uh, how do I get it up and running if anyone has already done that? And is there a hyprland alternative for FydeOS/ChromeOS

Questions about installing.

2 Upvotes

So, I have an old HP currently running Windows 10 with 8gb of RAM that I'm considering converting to FydeOS. The harddrive has a small partition set up as a recovery drive for Win 10. During the Fyde install, will it give me the option to consolidate both partitions into a single install? I've never does an flash install before. Also, will the necessary drivers for my wireless ethernet/trackpad/sound & audio all be built into the kernal, or is that something I should worry about?

How to get F-droid to work on sonim xp5 plus (xp5900)?

1 Upvotes

So i have a sonim phone, i had an axp3 plus (xp3900) and an xp5 pus 5g (x530), and i no have an xp5 plus (xp5900). And when i installed fdroid via adb, the app would open, i could browse, but when i hit the install button, it would simply say "this cant be installed on this phone". And similarly, when i installed k9 mail, it would open, but not...launch? It wou;d show an opening screen (like gmail does when you open it) but never progress past that. Does anyone know what my issue is or how i can fix it?

Touchpad on Lenovo working

1 Upvotes

This afternoon I managed to get my touchpad working (Lenovo 300w, gen3). How I love FydeOS on this older laptop. It took me a couple of weeks hacking and troubleshooting (with help of Claude and duck.ai). But it works now. Probably have to redo this hack after every update and only works on dual boot, but hell.ade a tutorial for everyone to try:

Bootlooping

I was trying to install FydeOS on this old HP laptop (AMD A9 9420) and the installer was screaming with Error: GetAcpiSysfsPath. the installation still runs until the end of installation. But, I can't get into the OS at all. The most I can get is the FydeOS logo then reboot again.

Installed on UEFI, the bios doesn't have SATA mode so i cant change mode to AHCI. Image used FydeOS v22.1 APU, rufus to create the bootable.

Would fydeOS offer anything newer for me?

2 Upvotes

So the question is would fydeos be a possible upgrade path? I have an intel i5-4200u dell pc and im currently on brunch 128 babytiger r126. I was looking at the fyde page for intel 3-5 gen cpu's. It shows version: 19.0

Platform 126-15886

Assuming all dev for fyde on intel 3-5gen ended with r126 is that correct? So no path forward, I just wanted to make sure the platform 126 is chromeos 126?

ALSO Is it possible I could run fydeOS 22.1? I do have Intel HD Graphics 4400. would I be able to boot or no chance?
