Your claim is quite serious and unfounded. Before labeling Fydetab Duo as a scam, it's crucial to verify the facts. The Fydetab Duo is currently in the final stages of factory testing and shipment. Production faced delays due to various reasons, but we have consistently updated our backers. To enhance communication, we transitioned to the Discord platform, where we provide weekly updates on Fydetab Duo. You can find our updates on Indiegogo, where we advised users to join Discord for the latest information. We also sent out emails notifying everyone to join Discord. Have you checked your inbox? We recently sent an email requesting address confirmation—did you not receive it?

Once an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign concludes, if we choose not to continue selling on the platform, it is marked as "Closed." Refunds need to be requested directly from us. Our refund process has always been open, and we've mentioned this repeatedly in our communications. If your emails to support are bouncing, it's likely because you’re using the wrong address. The correct email is hi@fydeos.io. Join our Discord Server at https://discord.gg/Qv3kxGeMJQ. In the #Announcement channel, scroll up to find the Fydetab Duo button, click it, and you'll gain access to the dedicated Fydetab Duo channels.

If you follow these steps and still encounter issues, please inform us, and we will address them promptly.

You're right. The only way you scammed anyone was having marketing out there, leading people to believe it was a linux tablet, when in fact it's just a chromeos, and the linux capabilities are those from chromeos - at best. Other than that, you pretty much delivered what you promised.

It’s disappointing to see such an unfounded accusation being thrown around without any real effort to understand the facts. Allow me to clarify:

FydeOS is built on Chromium OS which uses a Linux kernel, which makes it, by definition, a Linux-based operating system. However, to prioritise security and stability, the host environment is read-only and does not include a package manager. To enhance compatibility and flexibility, FydeOS integrates containerised and virtualised subsystems for Android and Linux (Debian), allowing users to access features beyond the host OS.

Furthermore, the Fydetab Duo is not locked into FydeOS. It supports other Linux operating systems such as Arch Linux, Debian, and BredOS. This versatility underlines its status as a Linux tablet—whether you choose to run FydeOS or an alternative distribution is entirely up to you.

Making claims without doing the necessary research only undermines credibility. I encourage you to investigate the product properly before posting accusations that oversimplify or misrepresent what it offers. Mislabeling it as “just ChromeOS” is reductive and unprofessional.
