Hello people of r/Linux_Gaming.

I recently picked up a scrap pile of a PC in the trash, after opening it up for a cleaning, refreshing the thermal paste and checking for any physical damage. It actually booted, I ran as many tests as I could on it and it seems the all the system check out as functional. I have an old Radeon r5 340 and 512gb ssd laying about that I could toss in this dumpster fire.

But my real question is when it comes to an emulation distro, which one would you guys think will run best on this 15 year old dumpster-fire Dell? From what I’ve looked at so far I’ve been drawn specifically to Lakka and Batocera, will this…thing…even run these? Any suggestions for other distros that are more lightweight?

    Lakka and Batocera are pretty lightweight, all things considered.

    Thing is, what things do you plan to emulate on that? Seems that you can get decent emulation up to Dreamcast and maybe some PS2 titles.
