Join us in celebrating the 6-year anniversary of our portable #Linux #distro named #winesapOS with a new 4.6.0 release: the #RAMpocalypse update!
This includes our most requested feature of all-time: a user-friendly installer!
github.com/winesapOS/winesap…
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. :-)
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!

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!
Anyone have an old copy of #winesapOS set up on a drive somewhere? Curious to know what the oldest build is in the wild. 👀
$ sudo cat /etc/mac-linux-gaming-stick/VERSION

$ cat /usr/lib/os-release-winesapos
Currently automating upgrade tests!

🚀 GameOS 1.0 is Officially Here!
After two and a half years of relentless work, passion, and innovation, we're thrilled to announce the official release of GameOS 1.0 — the first major step toward our vision for the future of gaming.
This is just the beginning. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be rolling out bug fixes, performance improvements, and quality-of-life updates, so please share your feedback — it directly shapes what comes next.
Download @ playtron.one/game-os#downloa…
🧪 Coming Next in GameOS 1.1
We’re already hard at work on GameOS 1.1, which will include:
Improved battery and power management
Additional security layers for GameOS and PACT (Playtron Anti-Cheat Technologies)
Additional game media
Better controller support
Improved installer
Support for more games
Support for our first ARM platform
🛡️ About Playtron Verified
At launch, many games will show a status of ‘Unknown’. That’s expected — as players use GameOS, our backend will automatically learn which games run on which hardware, improving Playtron Verified accuracy over time.
To everyone who’s joined us on this journey — testers, developers, and early adopters — thank you. GameOS 1.0 is live, and this is only the beginning. Let’s build the future of gaming together. 💪🚀

#winesapOS, being based on #ArchLinux and #Manjaro, makes a lot more sense to be a #rollingrelease.
Smaller and more frequent updates coming soon!
This will make the #OS experience more stable and consistent for everyone.

6 votes • Final resultsShould #winesapOS ship an older (more stable) version of #Proton or a newer (less stable) version? This goes for both GE-Proton and Proton-Sarek.
We can backport some fixes to older versions as needed. Or we can go the Arch Linux way and ship the latest.
