I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I'm kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I'm very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it's great to not need to reboot to play games.

I love older games. I only played like two games for SNES (borrowed from a friend), but we had an old NES and Sega Genesis that I have a ton of nostalgia for. I actually have a RetroPie system set up in my house (on my TV in my bedroom).

I just haven't gotten around to configuring emulators on the Deck. I'm sure it's not hard, I'm just incredibly lazy since I have so many other games that already work OOTB on the Deck (hundreds I haven't played).

It's not too hard, but it sounds like you might have some overlap with your current setup at that point. I certainly understand the too many games situation though! We're very spoiled for choice on that.

Yup, dang you Valve for making your service so convenient.
