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)

Looking for input setting up emulation machine
The OS you probably want is Batocera. I have a couple external SSDs that I use to run it on my VCSs, and they're great. It's definitely an easier setup than Windows with Launchbox, and you don't have to deal with licensing, forced updates, and all the other Windows garbage.

So I had an Arcade1UP Partycade modded with 12,000 games. I have no clue how to use this. I can only play a few games. I hope someone knows how to use this?!?
This subreddit is for the completely free and open-source distribution that you would find at https://batocera.org/ which comes with absolutely no copyrighted ROMs(games). You will only get support here for that and that alone. Unfortunately if you bought a preconfigured system ("unofficial image"), your issues are with the people who sold it to you. Nobody here can help you with anything outside the scope of the official release of Batocera. Which does have thorough documentation; https://wiki.batocera.org/

MiSTer vs Super Nt for my needs?
Alternatively, since you just built a nice PC, you can take the free options and just software emulate classic systems and run MAME. If you don't have time to set much up, look into a Batocera boot drive https://batocera.org/
