PCSX and PCSX2 are ancient. I wish DuckStation supported PS2 too because it's an excellent modern emulator.

Honestly it actually may be just fine, I had some trouble from before when I was trying distros and re-learning the current state of Linux (after a 3 years break) and looking back, they may have been related to Wayland or something else entirely instead of flatpak itself.
I may be wrong too but I think game detection on Discord won't work for flatpak Steam (and flatpak Discord). I may be wrong though.
I've been using Fedora and honestly I'm impressed. Especially since version 39. It's solid, stable, gaming just works. It requires some initial setup with COPR and installation might not be as straight forward but it's definitely not hard.
I may get downvoted but make sure you're using X11 for now because Xwayland latency is real. Wine on Wayland is around the corner but not there yet. And use Steam from COPR not flatpak. Besides that, in my opinion, it's a dream setup.
That actually reminds me of RetroAchievements. Some modern emulators have an integration with it and they track play time and achievements. I am not sure if it works for any game but in theory a standalone scrobbler could be written.
That's a freaking interesting idea, about the scrobbler.
Sure but people can be a little more sensible to think not to dress as a fucking ninja at night and expect to be seen?
I wanted to bring this up, I'm glad others also see it. (Or rather don't? :p)
Did you really wake up so early this morning and chose violence?
Dude it's Friday. Leave us alone and go be happy.
Boycott you instead, dinosaur.
Isn't Linux about freedom? Fucking pick a distro that uses X11 you like and keep X11, or build your own or some crap like that.
Depends on what you do. I take care of this .Net 4.2 backend project which is not compatible with Linux in any safe way. For years I used windows and tbf I enjoyed it, but I am back to Linux and I use a VM with Windows on it to run the project on Rider. I have a setup which allows me to use the backend in this VM and the front-end, database and all rest is native on Linux. It works well for me with the downside of RAM usage, but I designed this laptop with this kind of use case in my from the very beginning so 64GB of RAM I have enough room to run the VM and everything else I need and steel have a snappy environment. I like it better this way, Linux has evolved so much in the past years I am honestly very impressed.
Thought fully switching a desktop environment up to your login screen and all is a little more complicated and can end up bricking your system if you don't know what your doing. For those cases, you also would need to swap the system identity. Not entirely sure what was the command right...
In my case it was due to need. I didn't get any PS1 emulators to run well on my laptop at the time (a Windows 10 Microsoft Surface Book 2) and if I recall was due to old OpenGL libraries used in all emulators, but DuckStation implements DX11 and Vulkan, and performance was simply brilliant, so by modern that's what I meant.
