Arch Linux GNOME for FydeTab Duo — v0.1.5

Maintenance release of the Arch Linux ARM GNOME image for the FydeTab Duo:
a kernel fix that affects on-demand driver loading across the whole system,
and a substantially smaller image.

Release summary

Kernel 6.12.43-18 fixes two platform defects inherited from the
vendor's ChromeOS kernel configuration:
- Kernel module autoloading was silently broken on all previous
  images (the config routed every kernel-initiated module load through a
  helper binary that does not exist on Arch). Manually loaded drivers
  worked, which is why it went unnoticed; anything relying on on-demand
  loading — firewalls, containers, filesystem and crypto modules — now
  works as it should.
- nftables support is enabled, so the nft-backed iptables that Arch
  ships (and with it ufw, firewalld, Docker networking) can actually talk
  to the kernel.

Default credentials — change them on first boot: user arch,
password arch. Run passwd after first boot.

Put the tablet into Loader mode, connect it over USB and flash with
rkdeveloptool (loader binary and details in the guide linked below):
```
sudo rkdeveloptool ld
sudo rkdeveloptool db rk3588_spl_loader_v1.09.111.bin
sudo rkdeveloptool wl 0 ArchLinux-ARM-FydeTab-Duo-Gnome-uboot-2026-08-18.img
sudo rkdeveloptool rd
```
Full walkthrough: the FydeTab Duo Arch install guide.
First boot resizes the root filesystem to fill the eMMC.

Known issues

Waking from deep suspend requires the power button — USB keyboards
cannot wake the device (USB power domain is off in deep suspend).

Looking for a different desktop? There is now an Omarchy (Hyprland) image for this device as well.

Omarchy for Fydetab Duo — v0.1.5 (first Omarchy release)

This is the first release of an Omarchy (4.0.0) image
for the Fydetab Duo: DHH's Hyprland-based Arch experience, running natively
on aarch64. It is built from the same pipeline as the GNOME images, on Arch
Linux ARM with the linux-fydetab 6.12.43 kernel.

Release summary

Omarchy 4.0.0 desktop: Hyprland 0.56 + the Quickshell-based Omarchy
shell, SDDM autologin straight into the session. Display, HiDPI scaling
(2x) and touchscreen mapping are configured for the portrait DSI panel.
Board support: Wi-Fi/Bluetooth (AP6275P), Mali G610 GPU (panthor +
Mesa/panfrost, Vulkan included), deep suspend/resume with lock-on-suspend,
audio, sensors, auto-rotation groundwork.
Kernel 6.12.43-18 fixes two long-standing platform defects: nftables
support (the firewall below needs it) and broken kernel module autoloading
inherited from the vendor's ChromeOS configuration — this affected every
previously released image.

Default credentials — change them on first boot: user omarchy,
password omarchy (root uses the same password), passwordless sudo and
autologin are enabled. Run passwd and sudo passwd root after first boot.

Put the tablet into Loader mode, connect it over USB and flash with
rkdeveloptool (loader binary and details in the guide linked below):
```
sudo rkdeveloptool ld
sudo rkdeveloptool db rk3588_spl_loader_v1.09.111.bin
sudo rkdeveloptool wl 0 ArchLinux-ARM-Fydetab-Duo-Omarchy-uboot-2026-08-18.img
sudo rkdeveloptool rd
```
The full walkthrough (entering Loader mode, the loader download,
Windows RKDevTool alternative, troubleshooting) is the same as for the
GNOME image — follow the Fydetab Duo Arch install guide and substitute this image file.
First boot resizes the root filesystem to fill the eMMC and logs into
Omarchy automatically. The first login provisions the user environment
(needs network for the runtime/tooling steps; it retries on later logins
if offline).

Known issues and feature gaps

Security posture:

No disk encryption. Official Omarchy is LUKS-encrypted by default;
this image is not, while keeping the same autologin. Treat the device as
unlocked storage and change the default passwords immediately.

Compared with official (x86) Omarchy:

No snapshots / rollback / factory reset / hibernation — these depend
on the btrfs + snapper + Limine stack; this image boots U-Boot into ext4.
omarchy-update works normally but proceeds without a pre-update
snapshot.
Some menu installs cannot work on ARM: 1Password, Spotify, Dropbox,
Cursor, LM Studio, Minecraft, Heroic/Lutris (and other x86-only apps)
have no aarch64 upstream. The Install > Preinstalls entry currently
fails for the same reason (bundles Pinta/Obsidian/OBS).
Some menu installs are not packaged yet (planned): VS Code, Sublime
Text, Zed, Codex desktop, NordVPN, RetroArch extra cores, Xbox-controller
driver, the Dev update channel.
Boot is text-mode (no Plymouth splash yet).
