The last time I tried emulation on a desktop PC, whether it was Windows or Linux, I had to install each emulator separately. It was a bit of a mess.

On my Steam Deck, Emudeck made it stupid easy. Retroarch wasn’t terrible, but was a bit more irritating and buggy for me to get working. Either way, it had a bunch of emulators all in one spot so I didn’t have to go hunting for a ton of them. Are there solutions like this for Linux as well now? What about for Windows or something like a RetroPIE?

    It is not, you may be confusing it with retrodeck, which is solely distributed as a flatpak.

      Oh really? Boo.

      Retrodeck looks good, but the recommended install instructions were just too nutty for me: curl https://... | bash is not ok.

        You…can just download the script and inspect it yourself before running. This cargo cult “security” advice needs to stop.
