   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

• Ask HN: What's the Secret to Ranking on HN?

  If that's the criteria, then fair, but AIMD produces articles that are virtually indistinguishable from what an average copywriter would compose if you hired them. AIMD is very different from your typical article generators (like https://writesonic.com/, which good God I don't know why anyone would use, but they are doing good, so good for them) that is just spinning out... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Where to ask feedback on a landing page design?

  In principle, I agree with you. I spent a lot of time thinking about this subject and it boils down to: I can try to do this in such a way that creates the best possible outcome or I can wait for someone else to do it in such a way that makes it worse for everyone. Take something like https://writesonic.com/ as an example. It is backed by Y Combinator and claims to have 5M+... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
