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?

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

Tags no longer register and i've finally had it with galaxy 2.0. Any recommended alternatives?
Heroic Games Launcher: Support is limited to Epic, GOG and Amazon but the advantage is that it can manage their games itself without the need of their own launchers. Doesn't have support for tags currently.

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

I just bought a steam deck for my 15yo’s bday present - now what?
Maybe also look into HeroicGamesLauncher and how to install it, Steam isn't the only platform for gaming and HeroicGamesLauncher help with the following platform: GoG (Good Old Games) and EGS (Epic Game Store).
- According to a survey, only 36% of PC gamers buy games at full price.
