It’s been barely a month since I wrote [The Perplexity of Modern Laptop and Tablet Choices], and here I am again.

That’s right — the same person who confidently declared “I’ll stick with the Fydetab Duo for now” at the end of that article is now sitting in front of an HP Chromebook X11 typing these words.

The essence of human nature is “it smells so good” (after swearing off something). My essence is tinkering.

After changing the motherboard and CPU, everything went smoothly… I’m not sure whether it was the motherboard or CPU that was causing the issue before - compilation would fail after tens of minutes, and subsequent attempts would fail at different points. This was actually the first time in my life I encountered real hardware incompatibility issues… Another “first time in my life” experience.

So here comes the second part of compiling openfyde. Unfortunately, during the time I was struggling with the faulty hardware, the prebuilt image for r132-dev version was already updated… Missed the hot topic…

Compile the OpenFyde Image for Fydetab Duo by synthesizing official instructions and forum articles, aiming to compile the latest R120 version image. The goal is to compile the latest R120 version image.

I’ve had the Fydetab Duo for over a month, and I’m still trying to find ways to make the most use of this device. At the very least, I’d like to write some blogs during my downtime with it. Hence the following exploration.

I have always been interested in the status of domestic Linux systems (although I haven’t used any long-term except for an ancient version of Linux Deepin), so when Flint OS was still called FydeOS, I paid attention to this Chromium OS-based special edition. This also led me to understand why Chrome OS, which has a mysterious high share overseas in the past, is popular.
