Just got launchbox installed and setup on my Xbox PC. Having my entire game collection in one frontend is so cool. I have to many games...

Do you guys think this could be the next great Dolphin all-in-one? 04-26-2016, 10:16 PM
It's a little pricey, and that's for the barebones kit with no storage or RAM. As it has no SATA, only M.2, it basically only works with higher-end SSDs, so that makes an actual system based on it even more expensive. It's definitely a cool little piece of kit, and is a great option for some people, but I don't think we can safely recommend it to just anyone who wants a new Dolphin rig yet.

Yes it is pricey, but it's so darn sexy as a TV set top box. When I have the money I'd probably get that, a Dolphin Bar, and a WiiU GC adapter to replace my Wii

Apologies for bringing back this topic from two days ago, but just to clarify what I meant: regardless of how good Linux is for game development, and gaming in theory, if all of the ports to Linux are bad then there are no good ports on Linux. Hence Linux actually does suck for gaming - unless you plan on making your own ports, of course, in which case it's another matter entirely. On a similar note, I've actually wanted to make the switch for a while, but was held back by the fact that I game a lot. I've been thinking about it more seriously though, and I wanted to ask a couple things: 1. What distro would you recommend? I'm going to be doing some coding, some lighter gaming (think TF2/XCOM/that kind of stuff), and general stuff like browsing the internet. I was thinking Debian as an all-around balanced system, but I have very limited experience with Linux so I'm open to suggestions. (I don't mind a difficult installation and configuration as long as there's a documented way to reliably perform it, which is why I am leaning away from Arch - but I might be completely wrong in my opinion of it.) 2. What is generally the preferred way to game on Linux? I'm talking specifically about games that don't run well natively (such as Witcher 3, probably - I couldn't find any actual data on how it runs on Linux). Does wine work well in such cases - in other words, would it be sufficient? If not, then I'll probably need to dual-boot, since a VM is unlikely to offer better performance than running on the host OS unless the support is really, really bad.

Wine is not really reliable. I heard Play On Linux can help to have a preconfigured wine per game. When something manages to work, performance is not optimal. Unfortunately, dual boot with Windows is the best option imo.
From France with love.

Ech, that's annoying. SSD to the rescue I guess. I really need a bigger one though, especially given how cheap they are nowadays, so, well, here's one more reason to upgrade.

Having never been interested in the franchise, a friend recently introduced me to Persona 4, and now i can't stop playing and can't wait for Persona 5
