it is linux based but you wont have to use any terminals. you dont even need a keyboard just plug a controller in... use circle for 'yes' and X for 'no' during setup)

it looks sorta like this once you set it up:

you can skin it however you want. i put mine on a 512gb microSD card so i got room for a lot.

i set mine up with an old tv in my office. its awesome. i been kickin ass in super mario bros 2

i used to have it by the bed for when i had insomnia... but i found id get more "insomnia" the same time i got a craving to play super metroid

anyway..

do you own one of these? you can put one together for about $45 on amazon + the cost of a microSD card (you can get cheap ones but you should invest )

if you do, you should share a picture of your setup

no "big dikk" discussion in this thread allowed. lets keep it classy ok

I'm still running a retropie 3 with a COVID-era build. Mine can play games up to the OG Playstation.

Retropi is dope, I rocked with one for a long time until I copped an ROG Ally and just started playing my stuff on there. The newest/best way to play retro stuff is Mister FPGA, been thinking about getting one.
