Devuan and gaming, any benefits?

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.

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

Re: Devuan and gaming, any benefits?

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)
