Understanding FydeOS Hardware Requirements

FydeOS is designed for optimal performance, featuring an enhanced graphics system that provides a smooth and responsive user experience.

While this architecture delivers significant advantages, it also means FydeOS has specific hardware compatibility requirements compared to standard Linux distributions.

General Requirements

  • Android Subsystem: For running Android apps, we recommend 4GB of RAM or more.
  • Processor: Your device’s processor must support SSE4.2 to use the Android Subsystem.
