### Are you related anyway to Batocera?
No, but RetroDECK had some dialog before the project started with some of the Batocera crew if there where any plans to start a Batocera non-OS application (there where no plans at that moment and their focus is to make the best retro gaming operative system).

- Batocera is a retro emulation operative system that you need to boot into separately (like from an SDCard) or replace your current OS. For the Steam Deck you lose access to the SteamOS features and your emulation gaming is separate from your SteamOS gamemode gaming. That said; Batocera has many years of development time, is a great mature OS with a lot of features. - Batocera is a retro emulation operative system that you need to boot into separately (like from an SDCard) or replace your current OS.

That's why flatpak is safer than installing something directly in your filesystem as everything it needs is contained within the flatpak.
