The Google Play Store requires official Google authorization for distribution. The applications distributed through the Google Play Store usually rely on Google's service framework. Once the official authorization of Google is lost and the applications are installed into the operating system, these applications will often not work properly.

We are working hard to improve Wi-Fi compatibility. If you find that Wi-Fi does not work on your computer after startup, you can try to go back to the first page at startup and switch the Wi-Fi driver through "Advanced Settings". Restart the computer after completion, the system will start another set of drivers we prepared for Broadcom based wireless card chip. If your computer uses the wireless network card chip provided by Broadcom, then the problem of Wi-Fi not working after switching can be solved.

FydeOS is committed to adapting and compatible with more hardware devices and external devices. Due to the particularity of the Chromium OS system structure, FydeOS is currently less compatible with hardware devices that are not mainstream, do not provide mainline Linux kernel drivers, and do not support mainstream Linux distributions.

In addition, FydeOS for PC will also have varying degrees of adaptation problems on x86 Chromebook devices, because FydeOS tried to add support for more PC devices when it was built, and for this reason, the upstream project's special optimization for Chromebooks was removed. For Chromebook devices that are still under support, we still recommend using Google Chrome OS for the best experience.

8+
- **FydeOS for PC** is the most universal FydeOS release, intended to adapt to most PC devices with Intel CPU and Intel integrated graphics. You need to use a USB storage medium to boot for the first time. The specific installation guide can be viewed on [the following page](https://fydeos.com/instructions-pc/). If you have a PC device with Intel integrated graphics that was shipped after 2010, there is a high probability that FydeOS for PC is compatible.
9+
10+
- **FydeOS for You** is our customized version for some designated devices. It has better adaptability and supports some device-specific functions. If you happen to have these adapted devices, then it is recommended that you use the corresponding version. The installation method is basically the same as FydeOS for PC. The list of devices supported by FydeOS for You will be updated from time to time. For details, please check the [download](https://fydeos.com/download/) page.
11+

For details, please read the release notice of FydeOS VM carefully.
13+
14+
<br>
15+
16+
At the same time, we also open sourced some of the core technologies for making FydeOS, and maintained Chromium OS that can run on embedded devices and single-board computer development kits, including:
17+
18+
- [Chromium OS for Raspberry Pi](https://github.com/FydeOS/chromium_os_for_raspberry_pi): Adapt to the famous single board computer development board Raspberry Pi and its suit (3B / 3B+ / 4B / Pi400).
19+
- [Chromium OS for Asus Tinker Board](https://github.com/FydeOS/chromium_os_for_tinker_board): It is compatible with the development board Tinker Board produced by Asus which has the same specifications as the Raspberry Pi.
20+

After booting from a USB storage medium, confirm that the compatibility of FydeOS on your hardware device is sufficient to meet the requirements. Because the read and write speed of USB storage media is limited, you need to install FydeOS to the hard disk to use the full functions of FydeOS.

At present, we provide two installation solutions, one is ["full disk installation"](https://faq.fydeos.com/en/getting-started/install-fydeos-to-hdd/), another is ["operating system multi-boot installation"](https://faq.fydeos.com/en/recipes/dual-boot/). It should be emphasized that these tutorials assume that you are no stranger to the daily operations of multiple operating systems and have the most basic familiarity. If you find these tutorials difficult to understand, please seek the help of friends around you or go to [FydeOS Chinese Community](https://community.fydeos.com/) for help. If you are not sure about your operation, please do not continue.

Like Chromium OS, FydeOS was born out of the belief that the applications and services we use today will gradually move to the cloud. With the continuous maturity of browser platform technology and web front-end technology, we are convinced that most of the work you have done over the Internet today can be achieved in the future through a simple browser window. We are entering a new era, and the applications that need to be installed will become history.

FydeOS is a faster, simpler, and more efficient cloud-driven operating system. Based on the second development of the "Chromium Project", we have modified and optimized its kernel. Based on the most optimized browser platform, we added more localization enhancements that conform to the habits of users in China and improve user experience. Cloud technology operating system that truly meets the needs of the Internet era. It can be perfectly adapted from mainstream x86 platform computer equipment to embedded IoT equipment FydeOS, it is an extremely flexible operating system.

In the FydeOS for PC version, you can use the username `chronos` to log in to the system's command line (shell) environment. The account does not set a password by default. In addition, the account can also use the `sudo` command to escalate rights.

**Compared with other more traditional Linux distributions, FydeOS has special requirements for graphics drivers. This means that FydeOS can only run on some PC devices that meet the requirements.**
7+
8+
Currently, FydeOS for PC can only be started on PC devices using Intel x86 architecture processors. If you want to use the additional functions of the Android subsystem and the Linux subsystem, the device must have the fourth generation or later Intel graphics chip.
9+
10+
FydeOS (and its upstream project Chromium OS) is different from other traditional Linux distributions. It is highly optimized and integrated into the browser's graphics stack (including the underlying graphics driver, hardware acceleration module, and user-mode window manager module) for proprietary Technology, while providing higher performance and user experience for FydeOS, it also limits the compatibility of hardware.
11+
12+
If you find that FydeOS fails to run on your computer due to various reasons and need help, please post in our [community]](https://community.fydeos.com/) for help and provide as detailed information as possible about you Configuration information, we and the fans in the community will help you answer as soon as possible.

At the same time, we believe that "donation" is a less controllable and unfair income method. For the FydeOS for You product and its usage scenarios, paying the subscription fee in exchange for value-added services is undoubtedly the most direct and fair way.
