PSA: GPD Pocket 1 w/ Latest Ubuntu Linux

Just putting this out there because there wasn't anything more recently available when I was searching.

With a GPD Pocket 1, I successfully installed Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS from the ISO at ubuntu.com and it worked fine out of the box, screen rotation and all. The only change I made after install was adding "gpd-pocket-fan.speed_on_ac=0" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX entry in /etc/default/grub so that the fan can spool fully down when on AC power.

I also tried installing Ubuntu MATE 24.04.3 but it had issues - firstly the screen rotation wasn't automatically detected, secondly the installer crapped out towards the end with an unrecoverable unknown error.

But full-on Ubuntu is working, and working well.
