What Is Onion OS?

Onion OS is a lightweight, Linux‑based operating system built specifically for Miyoo devices. It replaces the stock firmware with a fast, customizable interface that supports thousands of emulators, game libraries, and community‑made enhancements.

Card reader for your PC or laptop
USB‑C cable (optional, for direct transfer)
Patience and a stable internet connection

Grab a cheap but reliable microSD card if you don’t already have one. A solid choice can be found on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XGxgOd.
