• ChimeraOS: Instantly turn any PC into a gaming console

  A similar project is Ludo [1] which is part of the libretro family. More for emulation but really a clean UI (it actually has screenshots) [1]: https://ludo.libretro.com/#about. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Building a Linux arcade machine

  Linux Mint is fine. You'll want to modify it to start using something lighter than Cinnamon (I suggest OpenBox); 4GB of RAM means that KDE and GNOME/Cinnamon are not going to be fun, and as you're using it for arcade games, you don't need much more than a launcher for Steam/RetroArch/EmulationStation/Ludo/Lutris/etc. Source: 11 months ago

• Why RetroArch?

  Have a look at https://ludo.libretro.com/ if you can't work out RA. Source: 12 months ago

• Gaming Console Recommendations

  MULTI EMULATORS (basically one program that handles a bunch of consoles) I would advise you to avoid frontend or multi emulators like mame or retroarch, Because they could be intimidating if you start in this area To start with a frontend multi emulator, I recommend this one witch is beginner friendly and have a good documentation Ludo emulator.

• I'm coding an GameBoy emulator in Godot. I'm not quite sure why, I thought it'd be a fun side project lmao. The CPU is fully implemented, so now it's onto actually displaying stuff. Wish me luck!

  There's a spin-off of Retroarch that I think is way better called Ludo. It's basically a less confusing version of Retroarch with a really clean UI! Source: over 1 year ago

• Amazon Prime Video Will Start Showing Ads on January 29

  You can get Lutris: It's an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam. https://lutris.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Making the switch - what are the gaps?

  For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you... Source: 5 months ago

• WoW Season of Discovery freezes on every honorable kill!

  Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you... Source: 5 months ago

• Windows 11 is last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros

  As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam: * https://lutris.net * https://github.com/lutris/lutris It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Been thinking of switching to linux but I am a noob

  My advice would be to go to Protondb first and look at your Steam games and how it would fit. They are graded at Gold/Platinum/Silver in terms of compatibility. Alternatively you can try Lutris if your game is not in Steam. I think there are a few others but I can't recall any. Source: 5 months ago
