Help forge the future of SkillFishOS

SkillFishOS is and will stay free and open-source. But behind it there's a small team and a single board: a small contribution keeps development fast — and alive.

A small team. One board.

Behind SkillFishOS there's a small team developing, testing and maintaining everything — kernel, apps, theme, repository and website — in our spare time and entirely out of our own pocket. The OS is and will remain free and open-source: no paywall, no ads.

Today we have just one BC-250. Every kernel, governor or overclock patch has to be tested on the only board we own: if it freezes mid-test, development stops. No parallel testing, no comparison between different chips (the “silicon lottery”), no room to experiment safely. Your help changes all of this.

Thank you, truly — every contribution lights up another piece of this console. 🔧

Where the money goes

Full transparency: every euro goes into faster, better development.

🧩

More BC-250 boards

More boards = faster, safer development: parallel testing, silicon comparison and a spare if one dies.

❄️

Cases & heatsinks

Better cooling to push overclock and stability — and to validate thermal solutions worth recommending to you.

🌐

Infrastructure

Domain, hosting, mirrors and CI: the costs that keep the website, APT repository and downloads online — all on us today.

⏱️

Development time

Every contribution lets us put more hours into new features, fixes and support, instead of elsewhere.
