It says something like “Linux isn’t supported on this fydeOS device”. When I go to the Developer Options in Settings, the “Enable” button is greyed out.

The VMware version does not support the Linux subsystem. For known issues, please refer to the release note.

You should create a new post according to the template. No one can help until you provide more information about your device.

Not sure if it’s this - some pc’s have their virtualisation settings turned off in the bios, see this:

edit: just tried it on my old HP celeron (!) 1.8 with 4gb and Linux installed now :slight_smile:

A 2 core processor wont support linux subsystem

A 2 core processor won’t support linux subsystem

Might be true for some, many, or even most? But once I remembered to turn on VT virtualisation in bios as above, Linux option opened up for me. And that’s on an intel celeron with official page clearly listing two cores. Unless I’m misunderstanding the statement, which is entirely probable.
