EmulationStation Desktop Edition (ES-DE) v2.1.0 is now available for download! This release brings an optional dark color scheme for the menu system, scraping and viewing of PDF game manuals, aspect ratio settings for the miximage generator, improved system sorting support, and more!
ES Desktop is great but I prefer Skyscraper for media content https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/tree/master

Is it fine to leave or even “ghost” a project?
Yes, but I would suggest to make it clear on the front page / README that the project is no longer being maintained and you would encourage someone to fork it if they want to continue development. For example, like this project did:
- Emumovies and Retropie Themes
-
GarlicOS Install Questions
You can try skyskraper, at least there is "Skyscraper works perfectly on macOS" in the description
- Skyscraper Import Module
- Overlapping/Doubling of scraped images
-
Skyscraper videos no longer downloading
This might help: Resource Cache
-
moderated Console/Netflix like experience
you might also try skyscraper, its a CLI tool for scraping folders to generate metadata for pegasus and other frontends: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper
-
Retrama-Turbo Help
It's highly configurable through the command-line interface: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/CLIHELP.md
-
Comic theme with videos
Doing this by hand would be quite tedious, of course. Lars Muldjord's Skyscraper (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#lars-muldjords-skyscraper) has an "import" module to cache local resources (https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/IMPORT.md)

Developers shipping broken ports and unfinished games (at a $70 price tag) has hit the sweet spot for linux gaming.
I have been messing with preseeding a debian install with the packages I need and maybe toying around with the kernel for native gamepad support. I found a project that appears to fix some of the gamepad support issue when trying to run emulated games from steam -gamepadui (passing controllers to Ryujinx or dolphin leads to disconnect issues).

Controller players, What is your preferred controller?
I've been using MoltenGamepad (https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad) on Linux. It'll handle mapping all the buttons, IR, accel/gyro, nunchuck, etc. It works pretty well once you figure out the config files. I'm not sure if there's an equivalent for Windows though. IMO the a wiimote with the sensor bar works pretty good controlling the mouse for a media PC connected to your TV.

Virtual Controller Input for Games?
I thought of this, but I am also using FFXIV Launcher and piping that through Steam seems to break wine. MoltenGamepad seems perfect so far, but I appreciate your suggestion!

Does anyone know how to emulate a controller with a HOTAS in Linux?
I did trip across MoltenGamepad, but I haven't really tried it out yet.

Is there software for emulating controller with keyboard? Mostly interested because of the Steam Remote.
I found this project in another reddit thread, but it hasn't been updated since 2020: https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad
