Due to the overlap with the technical and open source communities, the majority of emulators in existence will have Linux versions available. The commercial success of the Steam Deck has also contributed heavily to consumer demand for native emulators on Linux.
If you're on a Steam Deck, you should probably use EmuDeck which is an installation script that helps you get started with emulation. It is not an all in one solution like some other software; instead, it strives to provide the best possible official options to you, set up and ready to go.
View the Linux guide for emulators for Distro specific instructions.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Main branch is dead, but the libretro core is still alive.
- ↑ Due to using a non-commercial license. Source code is still publicly available.
- ↑ Requires the Triforce branch to work. It is very old and unsupported.
- ↑ At Alpha release and has bugs that are not present on standalone Dolphin.
- ↑ SameBoy's libretro core supports Link Cable, standalone does not.
