rclone supports lots of services

RetroArch doesn’t have Xbox/PS2/switch

No, but EmuDeck does, along with RetroArch… Best have a look before starting.

More power to you if you want to strike out on your own, but you may find it quicker going to join a larger project at this stage, you’ll have people to ask questions to, if you choose well you’ll learn best (or good) practices, etc. Maybe EmuDeck itself? In the end the language doesn’t matter much (maybe avoid Perl, PHP and JavaScript at the start), once you get the concepts down it’s easy to switch to another. You’ve got time, take some to skill up.

That you care to acknowledge is the problem.

Like the login screen. You can’t change that at all, whether it’s the background or the default zoom level, it’s part of the system packages and can’t be fixed.

in /etc/fstab (ublue-kinoite, ymmv):

# enable sddm write accesss and therefore good themes
/var/sddm /usr/share/sddm none rbind 0 0

Yes, llama.cpp and derivates, stable diffusion, they also run on ROCm. LLM fine-tuning is CUDA as well, ROCm implementations not so much for this, but coming along.

A: starts spouting technobabble

B: dummy mode on…

I hate you so much, I’ll write companies that use your chips just to tell them I’m not buying their product just because they use a Broadcom chip.

Respect

^This. I run ublue-kinoite with Arch distroboxes for dev. Rock solid, implicitly rollback-able main OS with the AUR in your pocket. What’s not to love?

Consider immutable, I use ublue-kinoite (fedora spin ‘with batteries’) and use a distrobox Arch for the AUR and development, best of both worlds, rock stable main OS, cutting edge rolling release as needed. I’ve been very happy, and if you’re using for uni and work, reliability should be a consideration.

same, just being able to blacklist content farms I dislike is worth the price (standing up a container) of admission, but there’s plenty more good things.

Sweet

Ya, but you’re overlaying all that stuff, codecs, nvidia, etc. ublue works out of the box and updates are quicker due to not having to re-overlay everything. It’s just less friction. Also it comes with automatic updates enabled which is really nice (and safe in an immutable, intrinsically rollbackable environment)

Nah, 'twas a good rant nonetheless ;)

This. Works great.

Now learn 3:2:1 backup principles, this problem will recede, the lessons learned are for a lifetime, or more…

Fedora immutable (ublue kinoite) has been so bulletproof. Moved from Arch, which is now on distrobox, so painless. Now ~ 1 year… 2 laptops + desktop, other is destined for NixOS…

TODO

1. doddle via steam, easy otherwise.
2. If you’re keen, I’m waiting for stable.
3. No. (let them come)

Why not both ? Toolbox is the fedora/redhat solution, which is the why, and makes it the choice when something’s in the fedora repositories, or if you want to trial it before (considering) rpm-ostree install, but an Arch distrobox gets you the AUR, not to be sneered at…

again :)
