I run windows and I’m not a Linux shut in but a lot of hand held emulators run off Linux and have good OS’s designed by the emulating community who makes ease of use extremely straightforward. I’m not tech literate but running a handheld emulator with Onion OS was like setting up any other device, very linear no bs set up hand held all the way through.

Because a lot of handhelds use Linux as the OS. Do research

Retro game corps YouTube has good product reviews for the current emulation systems and how to guides for setting up the devices. Very good channel who helped me install onion OS on my miyoo mini plus

Android stans are annoying when it comes to emulation. You have to pay for a bunch of emulation apps, you have to pay to get rid of ads and other shit. Linux is the go to, drop your bios, drop your roms, you’re good to go. Stop recommending android for emulation it’s not for beginners
