Updating cores
Lakka I believe formats its SD/Main Drive as a Linux filesystem that cannot be accessed easily from a non-Linux device. More info here: https://github.com/libretro/Lakka-LibreELEC/wiki/Accessing-Lakka-filesystem Note: Samba and FTP allow you to wirelessly move files like BIOS files (which go in the storage/system folder as it appears when connected via Samba or FTP, btw) to your Lakka system, and I recommend these methods.

Streaming/Gaming Client OS?
If you're looking for retro, I'd recommend Lakka OS. I've used it in the past, the only real issue was trying to get to the BIOS/formatting the drive (but I was using a Laptop with fastboot enabled).
- Is there a launcher like emudeck but for Desktop PCs?

Imac mid 2011
Plenty of uses! Install a modern MacOS with Open Core Legacy Patcher (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html). Install Lakka and turn it into a retro gaming device (https://www.lakka.tv). Etc etc. Your model has a Thunderbolt connection so you can get an Thunderbolt enclosure + SSD and install the OS there. It’ll be a lot faster than the internal HDD. Of course you can swap the internal drive but with iMacs it’s always a hassle.
- No wifi or bluetooth on Laptop running lakka. Worked previously on windows 10. Any ideas on how to get drivers?

Computer Noob here, Found a old HP Thin client, model: T5565 (that I was hoping to use as a retro emulating machine) but when I boot it up i get the following image
Check out https://www.lakka.tv/ is an OS designed for retro gaming on low powered devices like thin client PC's and rasberry Pi's etc.

RG351V OpenSimHardware OSH PB controller (4617/12544) not configured
If that doesn't work, you could try manually flashing an older version of Amberelec
- Have one on the way

Rg351p on the way, joining the übernerd club, nice!
351elec is now amberelec, and yes, it can run ports. Actually, I think it's better than ArkOS now, much more intuitive, so I recommend you that one.
-
RG351V help
It also sounds like you might be better served with Amberelec: https://amberelec.org/
- So I got this today at a swap meet is brand new but the problem it didn’t have the SD card or anything is there a website or something I can use to re install the firmware on my own SD card?
-
Can someone recommend a new OS?
I was in your place few months ago and I installed Amberelec. It's much better now, in my opinion.

RG351P won´t boot AmberElec/351Elec
Might seem kinda too obvious but are you sure you have the correct img for the correct device? Did you download from "new installations" or "upgrade" or "assets"? https://github.com/AmberELEC/AmberELEC/releases/tag/20230203

RetroRun on Amberelec Panda Conspiracy (20230323-0731)? How do I access it?
The Retrorun and Retroarch Yabasanshiro cores were removed on Mar 12, 2022 because performance with them is much worse than Yabasanshiro Stand Alone.
What are some alternatives?
