From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is what I was going to use for the server, as an entry distro it is supposed to be great and I'm very green.
But can I use it to do both the server and run retro games?
What games in specific do you want to play?
Mostly old Mario games, PS2 games and such. I'm just sick of setting up old consoles and figure a few emulators will fill the gap.
I haven't used these emulators before so I can't say if they will work but here are some options:
Nintendo: Mesen
PS2: PCSX2
Here's a site that gives you a list of emulators that you can use on Linux: https://www.ubuntupit.com/best-game-emulator-consoles-for-linux/
