+1 here, which do you like the most? I’ve been running Memmy and currently happy with it outside of a few misc design choices (couldn’t figure out how to reply for hours rofl)
I have a slightly different setup personally! I am actually happily running a Windows Pro server.
For my Drivepool redundant storage, I am utilizing a cool tool I came across years ago called https://stablebit.com/DrivePool and I've been really happy with it!
I RDP into my server a lot for coding projects, and misc things, almost like a secondary computer. Additionally, I enjoy being able to Steam stream several games from it to my phone or laptop on the go. A surprising number of games are playable in this fashion.
Outside of that, I do selfhost multiple serices:
- Plex, I actually heavily use it as a self-hosted Youtube alternative by leveraging yt-dlp and some personal tooling I wrote that collates downloaded youtube channels into Collections within my Plex (No ads!) -- Shameless plug tomy tool - https://github.com/KJBurnett/plex-youtube-channel-collections
- Rocket.Chat for chatting with my close friends
- code-server - a self-hosted vscode environment. You can literally code on an iPad with the capability and power of a Ryzen 7 behind it. Very cool and fun.
- gitlab (although it seems fairly heavy for my needs, unsure.)
- Overseerr - Movie/tv show requesting web app tied into my Plex
- airsonic - Plex also does music but sometimes it seems to be pretty resource heavy. I run Plex with Plexamp simultaneously with airsonic for the service redundancy currently.
Does this play well with the controls or is it mainly a trackpad+ trigger game? I suppose that would work either way though!
My advice would be to pick the GAME first, then, depending the type of the game, that decides your device. I personally own a Miyoo Mini (not the + model) and it is a very cool albeit tiny device, I can't see myself doing precision controls on it, such as street fighter. And games like Shining Force are just a little bit too small for the screen, I'm currently running Chrono Trigger and Fire Emblem on it though, which I think is perfect and "casual" enough for its size.
I find the Steam Deck the best choice for when I want to run Gamecube or N64 Emulation, owning the steam deck has allowed me to cut the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion because why pay for a subscription of N64 games when you can play them on the Steam deck? :)
Lastly, you actually have more options! EmuDeck recently came out with cloud-based save states. Your Steam Deck and Miyoo Mini + both are wifi enabled and could take advantage of that!
Pretty sure this is okay, but absolutely not necessary. You should be able to use the same account to access everything, but also like Reddit, you are allowed to have multiple accounts.
