So what front end is everyone using
So as a the guy who wrote the little Pegasus helper guide, of course I want to say I have made good experiences with Pegasus. Especially since I switched to gameOS: https://github.com/PlayingKarrde/gameOS

A review of all the Windows frontends i ever used (big post).
I really like pegasus. It's fast, beautiful (so many pretty themes), and supports many platforms. It even has some support for EmulationStation themes! It did take me a while to setup but as a programmer I appreciated the power of the metadata files. I know that it's gotten easier to add games (supports Launchbox) but isn't as easy as some other frontends. My biggest pain point is no built in way to exit emulators.

Playnite 9 released. Open source video game library manager.
In comparison, the default theme, the gameOs theme, and refiOS are all very different from one another in terms of layout and execution. There's even an emulationstation theme converter (though I haven't personally used it).

Playnite 9 released. Open source video game library manager.
Functionally, it seemed fine when I tried it. However, pegasus is the best one in my opinion just due to its theming and variety of platforms supported. I find all the playnite themes look nearly identical (and I don't really like that look).
What are some alternatives?
