So I asked my friends on the RetroDECK team if they’d be open to me asking them a few questions about their latest update (which is a full rewrite of RetroDECK), and they were more than happy to.
For context, RetroDECK is a Flatpak-distributed retro gaming platform designed to bundle clients, multi-emulators, game engines, tools, ports and emulators into a single, self-contained application. Built around the ES-DE frontend and targeting platforms like the Steam Deck and desktop Linux, its aim is simple in concept: make endless retro gaming easy to install, easy to remove, and easy to maintain, without requiring users to manually piece together emulators, dependencies, and configurations.
I’ve used RetroDECK for years now on my Steam Deck, and absolutely swear by it over the alternatives. I love their work, and definitely encourage you to try it if you haven’t already :)
Here’s a little edit, my full questions and answers with the devs is available to read with the following link:

Well, Im a sorry if I offended you, but some of the ways the article is formulated sound a lot like someone working of an AI generated transcript of an interview.
Can I just point out the insane irony of someone critiquing my writing when they can’t spell? This would be hilarious if it wasn’t so painful.
Of course you offended me. I’m a writer, and you said that I didn’t write it. It’s disgusting.
The funny thing (well, funny to me anyway) is that someone shared my article on Reddit, and it has been viewed so far 261K times. It has 918 upvotes and 89 comments. And do you know how many of them thought this was written by A.I.?
Zero.
Being a writer, a comment like yours is not only insulting, but dangerous to me. It also makes me really sad. So thanks.
