GPD Win5 with AMD Strix Halo to receive official adaptation of Bazzite OS A GPD representative posted on Reddit that “official” work on adapting Bazzite
With your newfound expertise, could you summarize it for me?
edit: I get that a handheld gaming (I think?) system used to be Windows only but will soon officially support at least one much used Linux distro. Is there more to it than that?
If not, that’s still pretty cool. The words I didn’t know just made me uncertain.
I think GPD is a company, and they make a device called the GPD Win 5. And I think that device is in the class of Handheld Devices called “AMD Strix Halo”. And so a representative of GPD has said that the {GPD Win 5} will be the first {AMD Strix Halo} handheld device to ship with native Bazzite support.
Now, what I can’t answer without Googling, which I refuse to do on principle at this point, is what an AMD Strix Halo is, though I assume it’s like a Steam Deck. And I don’t know how anyone thought “AMD Strix Halo” was an acceptable name for a class of devices. And I’m also not sure why GPD thought GPD Win 5 was an acceptable name either. I guess, like, you win at games? And this is hopefully the 5th in the GPD Win family? But this name is too verby to me.
