So we had to use Ethernet for most of the review, and we used the GL.iNet Spitz AX router (GL-X3000NR) configured in repeater mode using an Ethernet cable until we found a fix for WiFi… Another small issue was that the GRUB menu did not show up initially with the system booting directly into Windows 11, and we had to change some BIOS settings as we did for the GEEKOM Mini IT13. and everything went relatively smoothly, except WiFi didn’t work reliably (more than that later).

In the first part of GEEKOM A5 mini PC review, we had a look at the hardware with an unboxing and teardown, we then reviewed the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H mini PC with Windows 11 Pro in the second part, and we’ve now had time to test the GEEKOM A5 mini PC with Ubuntu 22.04 to check how well it can work in Linux, and we’ll report our experience in this article.
