SkillFishOS is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed primarily for the AMD BC-250 compute board. It uses KDE Plasma and seeks to turn the inexpensive mining-oriented board into a ready-to-use desktop computer and gaming console.

The distribution includes a customised kernel, hardware-specific patches, clock and thermal profiles, and graphical tools for controlling the BC-250’s CPU, GPU, fan and Compute Units. It also ships with a gaming and emulation stack, a steampunk-themed desktop, automatic system snapshots, and a collection of native management applications. A generic edition is available for other x86-64 computers and virtual machines.
