FydeOS is a lightweight operating system with a Linux kernel + browser platform + container technology driver; its use is very similar to Google Chrome OS. FydeOS can run smoothly on most mainstream hardware. Hardware devices installed with FydeOS can perfectly support the latest web application standards, are compatible with Android programs and Linux environments, and can be used in network environments in China without any obstacles, providing a Google Chromebook-like experience. FydeOS is based on the second development of The Chromium Projects. We have modified and optimized its kernel, based on the most optimized browser platform, and 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. After a long time of accumulation of technology, we can make FydeOS run in more types of hardware devices and provide an overall solution around FydeOS.

VMware tc Server
VMware tc Server
tc Server is a Web application server based on open-source Apache Tomcat. It preserves the best of Tomcat and adds many mission-critical operational capabilities that are unavailable in the open-source product. tc Server harnesses the power of traditional JEE architectures and eliminates their complexity and performance drawbacks, making it easier, faster, and more cost-effective to build and run cloud-ready applications. With its lean architecture and small memory footprint, tc Server requires significantly fewer resources than conventional servers, which allows for greater server density in virtual and cloud environments.

Chromium OS
Chromium OS
Chromium OS is an open-source project that aims to build an operating system that provides a fast, simple, and more secure computing experience for people who spend most of their time on the web. Here you can review the project's design docs, obtain the source code, and contribute. We think of Chromium as a tabbed window manager or shell for the web rather than a browser application. We avoid putting things into our UI in the same way you would hope that Apple and Microsoft would avoid putting things into the standard window frames of applications on their operating systems. The tab is our equivalent of a desktop application's title bar; the frame containing the tabs is a convenient mechanism for managing groups of those applications. In future, there may be other tab types that do not host the normal browser toolbar.

    "Really good for older notebook"

    Posted 2021-09-06

    Pros: Low impact for older hardware.
    Very responsive.
    Security by design.
    Supports most hardware configurations.
    Good for users who just need a netbook type device.

    Cons: Limited to Chromium browser.
    Cannot install software.
    May not support certain hardware.

    Overall: Had an older HP Folio with Ivy Bridge 3427u CPU. Windows 10 was not fully supported so began a search for alternative. Tried several Linux distro's which also were rather resource hungry. Then remember trying CloudReady on another notebook. I checked compatibility and was certified through 2026. I installed it and has been working great and is very responsive given its low resource requirements. Definitely a good option for older hardware if it is supported. Google has purchased Neverware, the developer of CloudReady, so hoping for even more improvements.
