UnofficialOS (uOS) is a community developed Linux distribution for handheld gaming devices. It was originally based on and is forked from Just Enough Linux Operating System (JELOS). Our goal is to produce an operating system that has the features and capabilities that we need, and to have fun as we develop it.

UnofficialOS supports a variety of ARM and Intel/AMD based devices1.
