Due to the limitation and constraints of virtualisation technology, FydeOS for VMware has the following known issues:

  • No support for Linux subsystem
  • Very limited support for Android apps with NDK (most Android games)
  • No support for video playback under the Android subsystem
  • No support for OTA update
  • No support for sharing files via VMware client between host and VM

FydeOS for VMware is a “Preview”, it is only intended to provide a quick demonstration of what is FydeOS and give you a first impression of using FydeOS. If you want a full experience of FydeOS, please use FydeOS for PC/SBC/You.

Thanks for providing the link.
First I downloaded and made the bootable pendrive using rufus for it from the link you gave but it didn’t even boot and then I saw its written 3 - 7 gen and I have 13 gen i7 so I again searched through the Historical Releases of FydeOS for PC for the 18.1 version for my processor and got 8 - 12 but not 13 so I tried it and it eventually worked 50 % but still Similiar problems in 18.1 and 19 versions. They are-

  1. In 19, No nearby wifi is showing but in 18.1 , wifi name are showing but are not connecting to it, eventually I have to usb tethering as ethernet.
  2. In 19, After installing linux , it failed to boot but in 18.1 after installing linux , its booting but failed to open terminal as saying this type of error.
    Launching vmshell failed: Error starting crostini for terminal: 74 (START_LXD_FAILED_SIGNAL)

Is there any other solution, I might tried for Fyde OS or should I give up from Fyde OS, please help. Thanks in Advance.

You have a discrete graphics card. If you can’t disable it, give up fydeos.

14

how come a graphics card causes error for an operating system. Anyways ok

Because fydeos does not support Nvidia graphics card and actually Nvidia always causes problem in Linux.
