   Very difficult to configure.

   While it has the potential to be amazing, like most linux-based options, it falls apart in the area of user experience, with automatic misconfigurations, failure to recognize supported devices and the requirement to SSH into the host system from yet another system (that you may not even have). in order to enter complicated commands just to turn basic supported features on and off. If you do spend a few days getting it to a basic level of functionality, it may be worthwhile, but the problem is that you shouldn't have to. Extra layers of unnecessary complexity seem to have been added simply to maintain that unapproachable aura that most Linux distros have.

• Looking for input setting up emulation machine

  The OS you probably want is Batocera. I have a couple external SSDs that I use to run it on my VCSs, and they're great. It's definitely an easier setup than Windows with Launchbox, and you don't have to deal with licensing, forced updates, and all the other Windows garbage. Source: about 1 year ago

• So I had an Arcade1UP Partycade modded with 12,000 games. I have no clue how to use this. I can only play a few games. I hope someone knows how to use this?!?

  This subreddit is for the completely free and open-source distribution that you would find at https://batocera.org/ which comes with absolutely no copyrighted ROMs(games). You will only get support here for that and that alone. Unfortunately if you bought a preconfigured system ("unofficial image"), your issues are with the people who sold it to you. Nobody here can help you with anything outside the scope of the... Source: about 1 year ago

• MiSTer vs Super Nt for my needs?

  Alternatively, since you just built a nice PC, you can take the free options and just software emulate classic systems and run MAME. If you don't have time to set much up, look into a Batocera boot drive https://batocera.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Every fifth Linux gamer plays on Steam Deck!

  I don't think many people have done that, as u/tonymurray was explaining. But to be fair, there are a few other decent gaming-first distros. Someone might want to install ChimeraOS or Batocera, to give a few examples. Others might have bought the Deck to serve as a cheap home computer, and replaced the OS with one that doesn't have a gaming mode (say, Ubuntu, or Manjaro). I think those numbers would be extremely... Source: about 1 year ago

• Does anyone know what emulator he is using in here? I don’t see any download for retrostation deck?

• Tips for learning leagues items

  When starting out, I recommend just using sights like u.gg or op.gg for that champion item builds and read what they do. As you play the champ more, you'll start to understand why people build specific items on them. Usually, their kit scales better with specific stats or effects. Then you can start looking at situational items. Source: 7 months ago

• Is Ivern top still viable? What's the best full AP build?

  Hello friends I have recently rediscovered my love for this champ after I played some arena (i was only playing TFT lately) and found out that full AP Ivern is incredibly strong (at least in that gamemode). I used to be a toplaner so I would love to play him toplane, does anybody knows good builds/runes to do that? I have seen there are many on youtube and u.gg and I can't understand what's the best so I would... Source: 7 months ago

• Sion is the worst toplaner in the game at the moment.

  The average Emerald+ Player has more than 50% winrate. Other sites like U.gg normalize their winrates to 50% average, while Lolalytics does not, so low winrates on Lolalytics are worse than they look while high winrates are not as good as they seem. Source: 7 months ago

• Hey Queens!!!!!! is losing 58LP normal or does riot hate 🚬🐐s

  It's been a while since I was in placements, but I remember tools like u.gg and op.gg reporting LP loss even in placements because you get a 'provisional' rank. Source: 7 months ago

• Useful websites for beginner?

  I wanted to ask for websites that would help me learn about champion builds, skill order, the role of every champion, etc. Something like dota's version of op.gg , u.gg, lolalytics.com, etc. Source: 7 months ago
