FydeOS is an operating system based on the Chromium OS open source project. It does not require Google services and can create a local account to log in. It comes with a complete desktop version of the Chromium browser, and is compatible with Android programs and belts through container technology. The Linux program with GUI is a cloud-driven operating system for the future.
Now the FydeOS v11 update is released. In this update, some new features, optimizations and fixes to previously known issues have been added. Among them, the most worth mentioning are:
- The Chromium browser is upgraded to 86.0.4240, which synchronizes all the new features of the upstream browser.
- Added the ability to automatically mount the system to recognize the disk drive to the “File” program. Under the multi-system startup scheme, the “File” program can access files in the disks of other operating systems. Fixed the problem that a certain process of the Android subsystem continued to scan other disks before causing high CPU usage.
- Provide optimized “terminal” program, provide theme color setting options and provide multi-tab page switching function.
- Fix the problem that the Android subsystem cannot be accessed through adb in the previous version under Linux (beta).
- Fix the problem of duplicate bookmarks that may occur during synchronization.
- Optimized the security protection required for user registration and login operations.
The FydeOS released this time has some known problems and precautions, as follows:
Naijatechnews.com is informed that after the v11 version, FydeOS for PC will no longer provide cross-milestone version OTA updates. If you are using FydeOS for PC X, you can upgrade to FydeOS for PC v11 by downloading the image-flashing-reinstalling .
If you are using FydeOS for You and are upgrading to FydeOS v11 via OTA, please pay attention to the upgrade prompts that the system prompts about the Linux subsystem. Only after completing the upgrade of the Linux subsystem can you use Linux (beta) related functions normally in FydeOS v11.
