While it has the potential to be amazing, like most linux-based options, it falls apart in the area of user experience, with automatic misconfigurations, failure to recognize supported devices and the requirement to SSH into the host system from yet another system (that you may not even have). in order to enter complicated commands just to turn basic supported features on and off. If you do spend a few days getting it to a basic level of functionality, it may be worthwhile, but the problem is that you shouldn't have to. Extra layers of unnecessary complexity seem to have been added simply to maintain that unapproachable aura that most Linux distros have.

A friend told me that the best site for ROMs as a whole is romsmania.cc but I've also had others say that vimm.net is, after doing some research I've noticed many people recommend others to stay away from romsmania due to it installing exe files and other not great files, on the other hand vimm does have a really good range of games but the site just looks so sketch I know that it doesn't exactly mean the site is...

This site has all the Emulators you will need. Plus All kinda of games! https://romsmania.cc And if you want more https://vimm.net/ has PS1 PS2 games on it, and PS1 PS2 Emulators. And more. I use these sites a lot, they are safe, but if you want to fact check, feel free. Source: about 3 years ago
I found the English translation patch but I can't find the Japanese ROM. I have looked on every trusted ROM site I know of (CDRomance, Vimm's Lair, Ziperto (I think Ziperto only has PlayStation ROMs so it makes sense that they don't have this N64 ROM), EmuParadise, Emulator Games, Archive.org, and the megathread) but none of them have it, the only site I could find it on is ROMs Mania, which I know is a giant scam...

The OS you probably want is Batocera. I have a couple external SSDs that I use to run it on my VCSs, and they're great. It's definitely an easier setup than Windows with Launchbox, and you don't have to deal with licensing, forced updates, and all the other Windows garbage. Source: 12 months ago
This subreddit is for the completely free and open-source distribution that you would find at https://batocera.org/ which comes with absolutely no copyrighted ROMs(games). You will only get support here for that and that alone. Unfortunately if you bought a preconfigured system ("unofficial image"), your issues are with the people who sold it to you. Nobody here can help you with anything outside the scope of the... Source: about 1 year ago
Alternatively, since you just built a nice PC, you can take the free options and just software emulate classic systems and run MAME. If you don't have time to set much up, look into a Batocera boot drive https://batocera.org/. Source: about 1 year ago
I don't think many people have done that, as u/tonymurray was explaining. But to be fair, there are a few other decent gaming-first distros. Someone might want to install ChimeraOS or Batocera, to give a few examples. Others might have bought the Deck to serve as a cheap home computer, and replaced the OS with one that doesn't have a gaming mode (say, Ubuntu, or Manjaro). I think those numbers would be extremely... Source: about 1 year ago
