The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

[Dread First]

I was thinking of dual booting it with SteamOS once I get my hands on a Steam Deck, but EmuDeck is already a thing so I wouldn't need to consume alot of time. It's also probably only good on a virtual machine when used on a desktop judging from what its mainly used for and obviously its one of those distros where its obviously a retarded idea to replace your OS with.

Adding a command that resets the audio drivers to .bashrc worked for me when I had issues with desktop audio.

Homeboy you don't even need to do all that nonsense. The best part about Linux is that all the good emulators are FOSS and have first-tier Linux support. AppImage or Flatpak your way through the classics like Snes9x, PPSSPP, PCSX2, RPCS3, DuckStation, Dolphin, and all the others I can't immediately think of. Not to mention that RetroArch is wholly native to Linux. If you ever get a Steam Deck, it should 100% be able to emulate everything you throw at it without any need for dual boot shenanigans. The only real bottleneck is how quickly you can transfer ROMs and ISOs to and from your Steam Deck. This doesn't just apply to SteamOS either JFYI. Even a RHEL variant can be a viable emualtion workstation. The technology is *THAT* mature.

I love Kenny's homesteading content more than I love his tech content these days. At the barest of minimums, his Instagram posts with the chickens always manage to make me channel my inner Ed from Ed Edd n Eddy.

I already know how to emulate on Linux and have like hundreds of hours on PCSX2 anyway. Just something hypothetical.
