Hey! So I have always wanted to make the jump to linux and pc gaming and figured I would do them both together. I would not consider myself techy, just aout tech literate in that I am aware of how much I dont know.

I have linux mint, on a mid to late i5 w/16gb memory. I wanted initially to make a home server but I have jusy been poking around and ended up trying to play all the games I have in attic through emulators and the like.

So I got loads of emulators, I use Cartridge which is a Lutris fork. It just seemed cleaner and worked when I tried it out. In that I had been booting into PCSX2 and finally playing MK Deception again. After three evenings poking and gaming PCSX2 shuts down every time I try to boot a game.

I have uninstalled, reinstalled and changed from 1.7.xx to 2.2 to the nightly 2.3 (I think). I cannot get it to work.

I have so many questions but if I could get back to Konquest I would be so happy, and bother you all later.

The end point I want to get to is moving this pc to my living room and having it serve as my everything console. I am not sure about it dual purposing as a jellyfin server and emulator station but I want to get to a point where anyone else can easily pick up the remote and jump between consoles and games.

If you have multiple TVs and are already considering a Jellyfin server, you could make it a Sunshine server as well. It's the open-source replacement for GeForce Now, with Moonlight as the client-side software
