Most emulators have just been built/developed with what people are used to, or what they like, which has become more similar over the years. Your questions confuses me a bit, but if you are actually looking for a good front-end for your standalone emulators, try emudeck: https://www.emudeck.com/

Lots of xfce distros. My favorite is Zorin Lite

Worthikids. Bigtop Burger is great.

He’s got 8 fingers on each hand. 🤣

AdNauseam is based on uBlock and does some extra stuff as well, in case anybody was curious. Link

The cheap fix would be to get the color-matching stretchable filler, but those are more used for holes; I think it might introduce more problems when the floor shifts.

If your NAS can handle virtual machines, that might be easier, and then set up your client device as a thin client. Check this video out. This guy’s whole channel is awesome.

Is this to replace your /home/$USER ? I’ve never done it with a symlink, but you could actually mount a samba share to the home directory with cifs-utils. A quick search will find you instructions, such as This one.

I think the only way to do this with better performance would be to use iSCSI, which requires a little more setup but would be the best in terms of reliability and speed.

Dang it! So close to what I want. Just needed a micro SD card slot.

Also, if you use it with purpose as a motivation to complete a task, they have a term for it; Body Doubling.

You can buy them online if you just wanna try them. This seller has a YouTube channel too.

Zorin is my fav.

Scan through some YouTube videos of each of these recommended distros and see which one you like the look of best; They are all good recommendations.

I’d like to throw Zorin in the pot, I use it on all my devices (and servers) since it’s just smooth and works without fuss or tinkering. There’s a Gnome version and an XFCE version, both are very nice. XFCE is a little lighter in weight of course, which you may like or need.

By Samsung?? That’s interesting, thanks for the link 👍

I think you both will need to be on Java version. You guys just playing vanilla? Setting up a server would make it so you both can connect to the world anytime, in case she plays when you are unavailable. Sounds like you don’t need this. If you plan on having a separate world that you both play on together only, then you don’t need a server; You can just open the world to LAN in settings (press esc) and she or you would connect to the other’s local IP address. The person that is joining would connect from the title screen. This is just going off memory, I’m at work right now just killing time.

If I were doing this with my kid, I would have them play on their world, on their own account; They would just open to LAN when I had time to play, connecting with my own account.
