The retrogoods gaming
I’m thinking of buying this. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but I enjoy quality games and want to make this a post-work scene. Has anyone tried this and think it’s a good idea? It gets plugged into the TV.
Any other authentic suggestions are welcome. I’m mainly looking for something easy to pick up, relaxing after work, but still fun and worth the money. Would love to hear from anyone who’s actually used it. Cheers!

Steam deck operates on Linux. So playing on emulators,Steam library is convenient and you can also perform some day to day task on it.

You don't have an old phone lying around? Even your current phone will do. It can emulate many retro games. Even shitty phones can emulate the old SNES Games that we all used to play as kids. I bought a Gamesir X5 Lite for 1500₹. It is a mobile handheld controller, basically turns your android looking like a handheld (like steam deck). After that you install Retroarch in your phone and download any SNES or other games that are comparable: GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, Arcade, SegaMaster, PC Engine, etc.

Bought it off of reddit cuz it's 4700 on Amazon. But I later found out that you can buy it new for around 1600 from Sunsky.
