I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I’m kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I’m very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it’s great to not need to reboot to play games.

    I still haven’t gotten into emulators because there are enough other games to keep me well stocked with fun stuff to play. Maybe I’ll play with it over Christmas break.

      It can be very enjoyable if you like some of the older games. I’ve always liked a lot of the SNES games for some reason, and I’m too young to be nostalgic for it! I have myself one of the original consoles and a small game collection, but sometimes it’s nice to use emulation as well.

        I love older games. I only played like two games for SNES (borrowed from a friend), but we had an old NES and Sega Genesis that I have a ton of nostalgia for. I actually have a RetroPie system set up in my house (on my TV in my bedroom).

        I just haven’t gotten around to configuring emulators on the Deck. I’m sure it’s not hard, I’m just incredibly lazy since I have so many other games that already work OOTB on the Deck (hundreds I haven’t played).

          It’s not too hard, but it sounds like you might have some overlap with your current setup at that point. I certainly understand the too many games situation though! We’re very spoiled for choice on that.
