# Linux resources for GPD Win 3
|
|
|
|
This repo contains the resources I used to get Linux running on my GPD Win 3. For the most part it's just going to be some scripts and notes.
|
|
|
|
This was done on the initial IndieGoGo-release of the Win 3. The limited-edition Silver with an i7-1165G7.
|
|
|
|
**I currently run Ubuntu 21.04 on my GPD Win 3, issues may vary and scripts break if you use different distros.**

# System "requirements"
|
|
|
|
As always with Linux, setup will vary from distro to distro. But there's some basics that should be in place regardless of distro:
|
|
|
|
- Linux kernel 5.11+ (Saw good improvements to Intel Xe graphics support)
|
|
- Mesa version as recent as possible
|
|
- If gaming on Steam, set "Proton Experimental" as compatibility tool (Many games fail to launch with any numbered release)
|
|
|
|
And last but not least:
|
|
|
|
- Patience
|
|
|
|
Intel Xe graphics are very recent, and so are the drivers. Regardless of platform. You **WILL** encounter graphical bugs and compatibility issues with games, until Intel irons out their drivers more.
|
|
|
|
Surprisingly that's mostly it. Keyboard, gamepad, ports, WiFi, Bluetooth and most other things just work as long as your kernel is recent enough.
