Searching a game I can play with my kids on Linux
I remember using Athenaeum. It has a ton of FOSS games and manages them for you. It's particularly good at OpenArena and FreeDOOM.
- Add KeeperRL to Athenaeum?
-
Open Source Steam Client?
Maybe this? https://gitlab.com/librebob/athenaeum

Any sane Playnite alternative on Linux?

Widelands is a free, open source real-time strategy game with singleplayer campaigns and a multiplayer mode. The game was inspired by Settlers II but has significantly more variety and depth to it. Works on Linux, macOS and other operating systems.
If you like libre games we're developing a steam-like platform just for them. Come check it out https://gitlab.com/librebob/athenaeum
- Athenaeum, the libre steam alternative is back with a version 2.0!

I’ve tried to create a living room Linux console but I’ve failed because of the simplest thing
You could try this front end. https://pegasus-frontend.org/

Anyone else think it would be cool to have a type of kodi all-in-one launcher that can install and play games from anywhere?
Have a look at pegasus-fe. Works on most OS (windows, macOS, linux, android etc.). It won't download games, but presents them in a very nice and efficient way. It also has many themes. Lastly, you can also launch programs, not only games !
- Is there anything like RetroPie available for Ubuntu?
-
Alternative Launchers for SteamOS / Game Mode?
Pegasus - seems like a proper launcher that can incorporate games from multiple stores? It seems promising.

Good Android Front End?

Is using unity to create an emulation front end a good idea?
I'm looking to create an emulation front-end (like Launchbox, Playnite, and Pegasus) using neo4j to store relationships between items (games, platforms, developers ect.). I've built myself a starting point in Java using JavaFX, but after trying to display items I'm starting to experience the limitations of that. I'm wondering if it might be a good idea for me to switch over to Unity at this point in development, before the application gets too big.
- Looking for a frontend/launcher with pretty specific needs

Using RA menu to launch exe games or other non-core games.
