TinyPiXOS is a domestically developed lightweight embedded device desktop operating system!

The birth of TinyPiXOS marks our journey from zero to building and fully mastering the foundational tech stack. Its core positioning is to provide an independently controllable, lightweight, and highly customizable embedded desktop operating system development platform.

If you find the project valuable, please support it with a Star.

We will continue to iterate and maintain it; long-term maintenance requires significant effort, time, and cost, and we hope to receive your support!
