• 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

• I wrote an app for myself to filter my library by HLTB

  I've done something similar before with Playnite (an open-source PC game library manager), which has an HLTB plugin. Source: 5 months ago

• Tags no longer register and i've finally had it with galaxy 2.0. Any recommended alternatives?

  Playnite: The one with the most features and libraries available via addons and has a lot of options for customization. In my opinion the best one available for this purpose. Source: 5 months ago

• What tools do I install?

  As for my LGO, the only other app I've installed outside of the standard launcher was Playnite to consolidate all games into one place as Legion Space doesn't detect everything I have installed and I don't want to manage manually adding games to their launcher. Source: 5 months ago

• Login in to various stores when launching games

  Use playnite instead of the individual launchers. Source: 5 months ago

• Steam Deck OLED

  Here is where I come in and recommend everyone check out Playnite: https://playnite.link/ When I care about supporting a developer or publisher and they offer their product on their own storefront DRM-free, I will often go there to buy. Or I buy from GoG which takes a smaller cut. Playnite lets me launch my Steam and non-Steam games in a seamless fashion. Steam still does a great job as a game installer/patch... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
