Virtual Desktop Management

FydeOS v16 provides better virtual desktop control and management capabilities. Now you can save all the applications on the current desktop and the tabs opened by the browser, so that you can return to the previously saved working state with one click. In addition, you can also close all programs and browser tabs on the current desktop with one click.

The modern “terminal” program

This update provides you with a self-contained and configurable “terminal” system program, whether it is the crosh command line of the main system or the Debian environment of the Linux subsystem. With this more modern terminal program, your development (tossing) experience on FydeOS will definitely be greatly improved.

A more complete SWA

The webpage programs (SWAs) carried by the system from the factory have ushered in deeper optimization and performance improvement, and there are more updates and surprises waiting for you to discover. For example, in the “File” program this time, support for “Recycle Bin” was added for the first time.

• Added support for Intel® Core™ 12th generation processors;

• Optimized FydeOS hardware tuner and added some additional configuration options;

• Fixed the problem that wifi could not be turned on normally on some devices

• Improved the overall stability of the Linux kernel.

In addition, it is worth noting that:

• If Open GApps was configured in the previous version, the entire Play Store will not work after the OTA system upgrade. This is a known phenomenon, you can re-run the Open GApps installer and install Open GApps again to restore the previous state.

In addition, we also need to welcome the following two new hardware products to the FydeOS for You support list:
