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.

    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.
