   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.

• Workout Tracker

  I'm using Strava to track endurance work and strong.app for lifting. I'm pretty happy with Strong, but it is a subscription app if you want to save more than three custom workout routines (they also have some of the popular beginner programs pre-populated). Source: over 2 years ago

• How to lose weight tho you hate intense workouts?

  You should all workouts with a app like strong.app or any other you find. Fitbod also seems to have good stuff now. Check their reviews etc. Source: over 2 years ago

• I made a community sourced fitness routine database

  Looks like a great app! I run 5/3/1 and this is perfect. Currently I use https://strong.app but I'd love to see a way to see my weekly volume per muscle group. Is that something you are planning to add on Hardy? - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• 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?
