Sleep functionality requires a BIOS update.

Ayaneo Geek 1S

Known Issues

• Suspending the device requires the latest BIOS update.
• Reports of controller issues on wake have reported inconsistency. Enabling "full initial usb support" in Bios seems to have an impact on how frequent the issue is.
• VRAM size option is missing from BIOS as it's controlled by AYASPACE application under windows. You can change the amount of UMA buffer size using Smokeless_UMAF, but this method has its own associated risks.

Functional HHD

sudo systemctl enable --now hhd@$(whoami)

e-GPU Support:

• e-GPU Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 enclosures over USB4 are supported.
• AMD:
  • Automatic switch at boot with all-ways-egpu works fine using method 2 and 3 at boot, unfortunately method 1 is not supported.
  • The script needs to be installed with Steam Deck/User Installation.
  • No issue in booting with eGPU attached. Tested on RX 6800 and no kernel parameters are needed since Bazzite is now enabling the needed argument by default (amdgpu .ppfeaturemask).
  • Using rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing=pci=nommconf (or editing the kernel command line with rpm-ostree kargs –editor) is still needed according to my testing because some applications otherwise may underperform.
  • Some AMD cards requires to set a correct limit for GPU and Memory Clocks, this is a known issue that is present also on Desktops. I suggest installing LACT and setting the correct limits for the card.
• NVIDIA: currently untested but may work with the “-nvidia-deck” variant of bazzite.
