When I was on an older stock Kernel the 8GB SD card I had worked, although sometimes it required a few attempts to get recognized. But maybe this got even more broken with later releases or your hardware is indeed slightly different.
Hmm, but maybe check the formatting of these cards. Exfat might not work out of the box.
Sorry to not be of more help for now, but I hope you can enjoy your GPDWin1 with Linux never the less.

This seems to be a nice guide to get the SteamDeck UI to work on Manjaro:
https://gist.github.com/red-dragon65/c7771a9347840fbcf5528f1528769836
EDIT: ehh, I forgot that these Cherry Trail devices seem to have 32bit UEFI which makes installing normal 64bit Manjaro a chore... but I only remembered after wiping the build in emmc etc. and having the install fail :( I guess this will take a bit longer to fix.
Edit2: Ok I guess the easiest way will be to reinstall the Ubuntu Mate for GPDPocket image:
https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/gpd_pocket/
And then follow this guide to get Manjaro installed (Edit doesn't work for me):
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/howto-installation-of-manjaro-on-32bit-efi-64bit-cpu-systems/93848
A bit annoying that I messed this up because I knew previously that this was an issue *face palm*
Edit3: that Manjaro Forum tutorial didn't work, but after installing the Ubuntu Mate version I could over-write the Installatiion via the official Manjaro boot iso by selecting manual partition and there mount the existing fat32 as /boot/efi and the rest mounted as /
Works now, but I still need to look into getting Gamescope and the SteamDeck UI to work.

If you're still running the OG GPD Win, I'd recommend a lighter DE release of Garuda.
