FydeOS is an operating system developed as a fork of the open-source project ChromiumOS. It uses the Linux kernel and integrates both a web browser platform and container technologies. The interface is similar to Chrome OS, and it is compatible with hardware platforms based on x86 and ARM architectures. Devices running FydeOS support the latest web application standards, compatibility with Android apps, and a Linux environment, providing a user experience similar to that of a Chromebook.[3][4]
