EDIT: An update to this post has been made available thanks to additional information recently brought to light and can be viewed here:
The original content of this post is maintained below for transparency.
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. A GPD representative appears to be directing their users to a discord other than our own for support as well. The Bazzite Team will never ask you to go to a discord server other than our own for support.
Please exercise caution, whatever they’re working on is entirely unofficial and out of our control, and will not be supported by us in any way. We ask GPD to cease using the Bazzite name, logos, or other intellectual property until this matter is resolved.
As a reminder, all Bazzite images are signed with the Universal Blue key via cosign and available only from the ublue-os namespace in the GitHub Container Registry.
You can download the key here, and you can verify an image via:
cosign verify --key cosign.pub ghcr.io/ublue-os/image-name-here:latest
If the image you’re about to use does not pass this check and purports to be Bazzite, it was not built by us and should be discarded.
