@XakerNeo1 @SuiPlay @PLAYTR0N You might be surprised to know that I agree! That's why I (unofficially) created the GameOS Unlock project to add a desktop mode.

I have nothing official to share right now but the team knows that there's demand and we're looking into a few different solutions.

[Luke Short @LukeShortCloud]

@XakerNeo1 @SuiPlay @PLAYTR0N What are your top use-cases for Windows?

[Luke Short @LukeShortCloud]

@disco_dictator That's good to know, thanks for sharing! Maybe it'll help me find a solution.

@disco_dictator It's a known issue. I haven't been able to find a solution yet.

Do NOT install the AYANEO 2S BIOS update on a SuiPlay0X1! That WILL brick your device. Despite looking similar, the SuiPlay0X1 has different internal hardware.

Other than that, I do not have any experience running Windows on this device. Only Linux. Good luck and have fun. :-)

[HackerNeo @XakerNeo1]

@LukeShortCloud Hello Luke , could you take a look at this post? The person installed Windows 11 , but I don’t fully understand the guide written there. Could you make a video about it?

#winesapOS is celebrating New Year's Eve with a new 4.5.0 release!

The big new highlight is Ventoy being fully supported now.

We've also received over 1,000 GitHub stars and addressed a lifetime of over 1,000 features and issues. A huge thanks to all!

Happy Black Friday! Looking for good USB drives to run portable Linux distros? The winesapOS team put together some of our top recommendations:

Our next update, shipping soon, will also take Ventoy from being partially supported to being fully supported!

[Luke Short @LukeShortCloud]

@XakerNeo1 @Player_Sui Sorry for the delay, I've been traveling for a few weeks now.

I want to make desktop mode easier to install but don't have anything to share right now.

[Luke Short @LukeShortCloud]

Do you use #Desktop Mode on #SteamOS ?

[Minecraft @Minecraft]

Building terrain. See you in theaters July 23 2027. #Minecraft

@vinataba_nft It's a controller. Desktops (Linux, macOS, and Windows) don't support using it as a mouse and keyboard.

The primary use-case is to have it in a USB-C dock with a mouse and keyboard attached.

That being said, it's possible to map it. I'm looking into it.

@vinataba_nft I added instructions on how to manually switch back to Game Mode at the the bottom of the "Install a Desktop Environment" section here:

Or you can uninstall all GameOS Unlock modifications:

@trevinvsgaming @BiasBoth @RaidenxOfficial @PLAYTR0N No problem, Windows should work on the device.

In the Mysten Labs Discord, there is a guide on how to do a dual-boot installation. The steps for installing Windows and wiping Playtron GameOS are similar.

#winesapOS 4.4.0 has been published late last night! This release helps to celebrate our 5-year anniversary this week.

Highlights include:
- Rolling updates
- Support for more devices
- Dual-boot support with Fedora and Ubuntu (semi-manual)

[Luke Short @LukeShortCloud]

@InterplanetaryG Thank you! I never thought winesapOS would grow into the project it is today. It's the community that drives the features and direction now which I think is the best part.

[Luke Short @LukeShortCloud]

Today marks the 5-year anniversary of #winesapOS! My wife made me a pie and got a bunch of swag to celebrate.

The new winesapOS 4.4.0 Rolling Update builds will be available later this week. In the meantime, upgrades are available right now!

Thanks for everyone's support!
