I've installed Emudeck on my device, the process was really easy to follow, here's a guide.
I just made this post to share info and suggestions on the best games to try. Right now I'm playing a (totally owned) rom of Zelda breath of the wild and so far is flawless (although stuck to 30 fps x some reason). Any suggestion for other good game??
flatpak is a universal packaging format for linux, and every flatpak app is containerized for improved security
as a bonus you can easily remove almost all traces of an app when you uninstall so there aren't any annoying leftover files, like you would on Windows
Now as the RetroDECK CM another benefit is it also make it rather easy to move the important data between installations or even take backups.
If you take RetroDECK for example all you need to do move/copy over to a new installation is:
That is it.
All your roms, saves, scraped data and everything has been moved.
I personally run RetroDECK on my Steam Deck and both my Linux Laptop, Linux Desktop and more in my home.
