I've got Steam, Lutris and Playonlinux working with PC games. But of course, not all games/versions. Devuan seems to have good support for those and the underlying Wine. Been running this Devuan setup for years.

By the way, you are allowed to play as much as you want. But I also recommend Hiking and Biking as compliments.

Is there benefit to spending ANY time on gaming?

Yes. A number of them actually.

It is a good question. A really good question.

I recommend the following retro and indie game emulators (most can easily be installed with your package manager):

DeSmuMe
Dolphin Emulator
DuckStation (download the last functional AppImage for Daedalus here)
EasyRPG Player (use the official repository here)
FCEUX
I.K.E.M.E.N. GO / Ikemen GO (download the official binary here)
Kega Fusion (download the DEB binary here)
mGBA
Mupen64Plus-Qt
PCSX2 (use the 1.7.0 64-bit version from the official PPA)
RPCS3 (download the AppImage here)
Snes9x (download from their GitHub or use the 1.60 DEB binary that one of the project's maintainers Bearoso compiled)

yes, it can be relaxing after hours of debugging your code cuz it doesn't work as intended.

I play older games such as Skyrim Special Edition, or ETS2 anyway. Or Doom Eternal, Civ5-6 sometimes. These games won't benefit from Archlinux or anything.
