 Bazzite team claim GPD lied about "official Bazzite" for Win 5 handheld. Summary A GPD rep on Reddit made a post claiming there was an official adaptation of Bazzite coming for GPD Win5. They claimed in the same reddit thread that the Bazzite team were sent hardware.   Kyle Gospodnetich says they have no recent contact with GPD at all, and seemed concerned that GPD is directing users to a different Discord. (Source https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/correction-regarding-gpd-win5-support-for-bazzite/11574 )     Quotes Quote Recently, GPD made a statement that an “official Adaptation” of Bazzite is happening for the GPD Win5, and that we have received hardware from them. I want to make clear that not only have we not received hardware from them, we have no recent contact with GPD of any kind.   On the reddit thread Liam from Gaming On Linux queried this.   My thoughts I'm not sure why the GPD representative would say this, or if it's just some lost in translation moment where they mean their official adaptation is happening. But then they claimed to have sent hardware to the Bazzite team which Kyle also refutes.   Sources https://videocardz.com/newz/bazzite-team-says-gpd-lied-about-official-bazzite-for-win-5-handheld https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/gpd-claim-the-win-5-is-getting-an-official-bazzite-linux-adaptation-but-the-bazzite-team-say-otherwise/ https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/correction-regarding-gpd-win5-support-for-bazzite/11574 https://www.reddit.com/r/gpdwin/comments/1qhw6gn/the_official_adaptation_of_gpd_win5_is_happening/
