How to choose a front end / control kit pairing for multi cabinet?
The kit has been fun. My daughter loved helping me wire it up to a dummy box, and we decided its worth moving forward with a desktop cabinet build. I don't have a raspberry pi and can't find one, so we're using a 2012 mac mini. OpenEmu has been fun, but I'd like to be able to control the whole UI with the joystick, so we looked at EmulationStation-DE (retropie for desktop as its been explained to me). The control kit worked with OpenEmu but not EmulationStation, and the folks over in that sub said its not supported by SDL https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL

Do i have enpugh knowledge to learn new libraries?
There is also SDL, which is a bit of a behemoth library, but gives you a lot of firepower if you want to get down to the nuts and bolts of building something from scratch with media. It provides a framework for working with graphics, sound, input hardware, etc., and is cross-platform. I haven't personally used SDL but it's a pretty well-utilized library. It's written in C so the same caveats apply as before, but works just fine with C++.

I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!
I got tired of writing C# bindings code by hand to interop with native C/C++ libraries, so I automated the process. Example for SDL: https://github.com/bottlenoselabs/SDL-cs. The repository is automated daily using Dependabot to run C2CS, generate the P/Invoke code, and push a Git commit with the code automatically when there is a change to https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL.

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
libGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame
