[Suggestion] Linux: RetroArch X11 session

Open donmor opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I'm about to deploy RetroArch on Ubuntu 22.04. In the past day I installed retroarch on my laptop (Ubuntu 20.04), where I later decided to add a single-app session on it. I created a retroarch.desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions and it works well, just like what happened when running Steam as SteamOS session with steamos-compositor and steamos-modeswitch-inhibitor installed. Now I wonder if RetroArch can provide such a session to directly log into the retro-gaming system.

Environment information

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04

This should probably be done by the Package maintainers

Hmmm... I think there may be distro without useable package manager... or something like lfs.

You could make a PR to add it.

Nice idea. I'll try if I have time.
