I'd like something to show, sort and tag my games as I want, not bloated by unneeded services. It exist? Essentially I just need a cool way to navigate my retroarch launching commands. At the moment I'm using Cartridges, not very customizable, and service oriented but the UI is decent (it also supports animated covers, cool).

No problem! I think it depends on the theme. I use the Retro Mega Next theme which is optimized for handhelds, but it works great with mouse and keyboard.

I finally learned how to make metadata files. Is that theme on the official page? I'll check it, thanks.

I admit this whole research of mine made me want to learn qml development :D

Yes, you can find it in the themes directory. It also has really good documentation on github in case you want to make custom collections or swap out game system cover art. I went down the qml rabbit hole because of pegasus, it was super fun
