You know how games use to come on a dvd or a big brick called a cartridge… Can i do something like that but in modern day. I have a bunch of blank dvd and cds collecting dust and linux os’s but could i put game son them on installers and give them some cool art? Is there a better way to do this? This would also be for personal use cases.

Im just not sure how well save files would be handled, or if this is worth doing.

    I don’t know if it is what you’re asking, but you just made me think of a bootable DVD or USB with a linux distro with the bare minimum to run well the one game installed.

    That would be cool.

        No, I was thinking about a bootable USB stick with a linux distro like those you use to try the distro before installation but with wine/proton and one game preinstalled. Everything non essential for the game stripped away. You could even make the game to start right away to make it feel like plugging a cartridge in a console.
