I believe Batocera itself covers all the consoles you mentioned.

It’s also got a pretty nice little UI (very customizable) and it has a really nifty feature where you can pair Bluetooth remotes super easy (basically just put the controller into pairing mode and click “pair Bluetooth controller” and it’ll instantly pair).

It also runs like absolute lightning - I’m running my Batocera on a 2012 MacBook Pro and it still runs everything up to PS1 decent frames (which is an achievement for this laptop lol).

To top it off, adding the games is super easy. I just used a flash drive and put the ROMs into their respective folders in the file explorer and it just added the console’s icon to the home screen.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer 🙏

Squad is definitely one of them! Also the Battlefield Collection is on 89% sale (only includes the ones since 2011 tho)

Basic, but Ubuntu. It’s got snaps which are slow and generally suck, plus Canonical

Between the recent breach and the clear sentiment behind their staff, I really don’t know why anyone chooses CircleCI over GitHub / GitLab Actions.

Interesting, thank you for sharing. I’ll have to give it a go next time!

For anything lower-spec (like, <4Gb of RAM), Ubuntu absolutely CHUGS because of Snaps. Flatpak has no such issue.

Ironically, Lubuntu (a lightweight Ubuntu fork) worked the best for me while I was using it. No slowness, but I installed pretty much everything using Apt (didn’t know about Flatpak back then).

I ended up having it lock up and freeze on the sign-in page though, so I moved on to the slightly heavier Linux Mint.

I think this is the perfect post to bring up XWayland.

That being said, I haven’t used it yet (so I can’t comment on whether it works flawlessly)! Can anyone elaborate on their experiences with it? I’m curious on it and don’t have my hands on a Linux machine at the moment

It really is so good. I haven’t played in years but not by choice haha

People definitely still play Planetside 2

I can also back that up! KDE feels way faster than Gnome (and especially Cinnamon) on older computers

Ditto on a Pixel 6 Pro. There were a ton of people with issues when this thing came out, but I was lucky enough to dodge all the issues.

As a long-time Tenchu fan, I feel this was about Sekiro to be honest. It started life as Tenchu 5, then got turned mid-development into Sekiro. I just wish it had a bigger emphasis on stealth, rather than just swordfighting…

Do Revanced or Piped allow you to easily cast now? That was my main issue with them a while ago (I’m on a Pixel 6 Pro, maybe it was my phone?)

This is cool, but there appears to be no issues tab in GitHub which is a bit of a red flag.

My one big gripe with Mastadon is that images take absolutely forever to load if they have even a marginal amount of pixels. I scroll art often and I’m left waiting for greater than a minute for these things to load (and I’m on a very, very fast connection).

I learned Gimp alongside Photoshop ~10 years ago and it’s my preferred image editor. It does have some silliness sometimes, but overall I adore it.

One of the best things they ever did was making it one-window by default.

I was, indeed, a frustrated developer. Struck at the worst possible time, too

I don’t understand personally why Lemmy.world isn’t utilizing load balancing (specifically, horizontal load balancing). Is it due to budget concerns?

There was definitely a bottom banner but it was quite unobtrusive
