GPD pocket works fine except for the following -

Suspend/resume (ZZZ aka hibernate might work, I didn't try)

Sound

Wireless (can be easily made to work with a file containing NVRAM content
though)

USB-C (the USB-A port works fine, and charging via USB-C works, you just can't
plug devices into the USB-C port and have them recognized)

Battery/AC adapter status
