Someone needs to make a prepackaged Linux iso with like, every remotely popular rom and pc game through ps1 era pre set up. It would only be 100 GB or something.
There are already ISOs like that running Batocera out there if you look around.
Never heard of it, thank you
You wouldn't have to do that, a torrent tracker would work just as well. There is a "gamer box" Linux iso and it's called bazzite.gg which you can install on your steam deck which can go up to Nintendo Switch games if its optimized enough.
Are there any where you can get ROMs through the package manager? That would be cool af
If you use a pure package manager like Nix or Guix you can set up a flake/channel that hosts roms via direct download, then you can use a redump site like https://myrient.erista.me/ as a source and then set up a build farm/substitute server that can be wired to transfer roms via tor.
Lotsa possibilities.
