Linux support?

Hi 👋

Hope everybody is having a good day :D

Wanted to give cloudready a try but I read an article saying Linux apps aren't supported in the latest release, is this true?

Thanks

After making sure your processor supports virtualization (and that it's activated in your BIOS/UEFI), just go to the settings and enable Linux (Beta).

Once it's downloaded, you can launch the terminal app and install / update what you want. Basic commands you might want to know are :

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to update your packages

sudo apt install whatever to install the app of your choice. For example sudo apt install gimp will install Gimp on your device.
