TL;DR yes, popOS is perfect for that

My personal getting started advice is as follows

• use kali Linux in a virtual machine because haha funny 1337 haxor

• install mint/popOS/ubuntu on either a virtual machin, a spare laptop, or dual boot if you have a spare drive

• I used mint for school and random tinkering and just gradually got more familiar with the random things I wanted to do or fix

• this was last year so I’m no where near qualified to talk like a guru of ancient wisdom, take all of this with a grain of salt or possibly just burn it

Replace yuzu.exe with the path to the yuzu appimage, no other changes

Yes, the steps are [game] > preferences > run command on start > yuzu.exe….

I can’t really give a super useful opinion given that I haven’t really touched fedora, but I’ve been using mint for school for almost a year, highly recommend

I think I could help you with that, if you don’t mind me taking away the novelty of you coding your own solution, which is where I get my kick

If you can find a way to connect an SSD to the deck, I’m not sure if it’s SATA or whatever, if it’s connected and recognized, I don’t see a reason why the deck couldn’t boot from it. Not speaking from personal experience, all hypothetical, I could be wrong. Worth a shot if you understandably don’t want to do a fresh windows install
