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?
I did just that. It’s not about security. It’s about messing with my machine’s setup. I don’t want to run a bunch of rando commands that might mess with how my actual package manager manages my system.
This is quite fair, and I agree. I just hear far too often people rejecting running scripts out of hand because sOmEoNe sAiD pIpE iT tO tHe sHeLL. Usually such scripts are just using the package manager anyway.
