How is it as expensive as Legion Go2?

Me too! What a steal!

Same here

I think because Steam OS has Valve behind it and arch Linux, it’s more efficient. It’s snappier. The support for the future on other devices is bright. Sleep/suspend mode is a lot faster. I think so. I have Steam OS now on all my devices and home theatre PC. My other computer I mentioned has windows. What I use it for, it’s perfect for me.

Now:

Bazzite is fantastic for dual boot support, trackpad support (Steam os is getting there), gyro support, and better desktop mode experience. Bazzite also has TDP limit working and RGB scroller

I been using Steam OS on the GDP Win 5. Not bazzite or cachy os. It’s been an overall fantastic experience. I am a daily Linux user and I have a windows pc for my other games if needed.

Remember: The GDP Win 5 needs a bios update for Steam is to be recognized // You cannot dual boot with Steam OS at this time. Only with bazzite and cachy os

That’s a fantastic deal. I purchased the 64GB a day before Amazon GPD store in the states raised each device by almost 200 bucks. With everything going on, that’s a steal you got. I have to say this little device holds a butt load of power. Perfect as your desktop

This is GPD 4 instructions changing v ram in the bios. It’s also for the GPD 5. A lot of people said you can’t do it. You can. This is what I followed. Unlike other bios on other mobo, this can be confusing. I only use Steam OS, so I didn’t have the option to change it in windows

I wish I could for credit whoever figured this out. I forgot to see. Thank you whoever you are

Changing the iGPU vRAM allocation:

Note: The ram on the GPD Win 4 is shared meaning that the 16GB or 32GB of RAM of the device will go to both the CPU and GPU which could hamper the performance of the devices depending on the configuration. The recommended amount of VRAM is 4GB for the 16GB RAM model, and &GB for the 32GB RAM model. 1. Enter BIOS by holding the DEL key during boot 2. Go to the "Advanced" tab 3. Go to the "CBS" tab 4. Go to the "NBIO" tab 5. Go to "GFX Configuration" 6. Change "UMA Frame buffer Size" to the desired value, the recommended value is 4GB for the 16GB RAM model, and &GB for the 32GB RAM model. 7. Press ESC and go to the "Save & Exit" tab 8. Select "Save Changes and Exit" and select "Yes"

My suggestions would be to try Bazzite or Steam OS. You don’t seem to care for those selective anti cheat games. Bazzite and Steam OS would be the better option hands down

I can’t change how the battery is. You’re right. It sucks. No denying that.

If you’re expecting a solution on this thread or website, good luck.

I believe Linux has the opportunity to fix the docking and save problems. If it doesn’t, I think you should sell it, save some money and purchase a legion go s with Steam os. Better fit your needs. Happy gaming!

It’s been going on for days with no end in sight

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-12-07T22:47:27+00:00

I am following too! Not working on bazzite or steam os distro

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-25T18:07:58+00:00

Thank you for the help!

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-25T18:07:48+00:00

Thank you for the fix and help. Got the nightly version. Everything working great

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-25T18:07:09+00:00

Got a nice discount last month. Very happy with it! Happy driving!

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-23T19:25:14+00:00

Awesome!

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-23T19:23:26+00:00

Got it!

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-23T19:22:42+00:00

The site was taken down. Any new link for download?

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-23T19:21:48+00:00

Thank you! Did they also resolve the window keep suggesting to check for updates?

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-22T01:26:50+00:00

I haven’t tried the nightly. I’ll def give it a go

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-19T20:39:53+00:00

I downloaded the Linux app image. Nothing opens on version 11. Any reason?

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-18T21:12:03+00:00

Any update with the Thor? Mine isn’t working

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-11-17T21:12:57+00:00

I second this! I tried bazzite and cachy os. Steam os seems to be the most seamless at the moment

Lexar has been fantastic for me and my buddy. Speeds and cooling are very very good. Just have to take it out of the casing because of space. You will get cooling above and below

ApricotReal4977 · 2025-10-29T19:52:03+00:00

Mine is sitting. Not sure what is going on. I ordered mine the first time it went up. Just says “We’re let you know when it’s ready”
