I know there are projects like batocera for example but i want something i cant transfer from one device to another and just boot it up from my last save. Like i want it to work portable with various linux desktops os's without the need to boot into a emulation os?

Does this make sense? if so how may i do it as a newcomer? What would you advise?

I'm not quite sure but i guess i need 1 ditsro because i fear more than that would be annoying? but is batercera the best choice or are there others? Sorry im really bad with wording and explaining things.

Batocera is great but I don't think it has a regular desktop environment. So you couldn't like browse the internet or use Steam.

If you use a different distro I think EmuDeck will give you the same emulators with the same frontend
