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).

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.

RGB30 with ArkOS- can you share config files for A/R, scaling, etc
Coming from a MM+ and having a tough time getting my RGB30 set up to fill the screen across various emulators. I've looked at this and this and this, among many other great resources.

All I want for Christmas is
ArkOS is very similar to JELOS, and can do this via Quick Mode. If you also go into Start > Advanced Settings and switch On the Switch Power Button Tap to Off setting, it's pretty handy. No Quick Mode -like function in JELOS... yet.
