I use Attract-Mode + Retroarch.
I do not usually like that kind of distros (puppy, etc.) because they are not persistent.
Wikipedia definition: "Persistence – in computer science refers to the characteristic of data that outlives the execution of the program that created it. Without this capability, data only exists in RAM, and will be lost when the memory loses power, such as on computer shutdown."

actually puppy can be installed on a hdd . ive played with puppy alot but it takes alot to work it properly on a hdd. ( i mean i get that it was made to use to get your data from a broken down old pc.)
actually i wanna use groovy arcade but its very confusing. and im very familiar with ubuntu. there is a puppy arcade distro out but hasnt been updated in like many years and i cant get it to run but...... lol
thanks guys for the input!!
atleast i know if i have questions or issues i can come here and find answers!! :D
one more question... can you hide ubuntu like you can windows and boot directly into attract?? cuz i think i am gonna go ubuntu for now till i get some more linux under my belt.

holy crap dude! you are the bomdiggity!! wip??? lmao!! howmany more emulators are there? lol
nice work thank you!

Haha I want to get everything that works in windows working in linux. Well thats the goal anyway. I had a way to use wine to load emulators but it only worked on a older version of wine. Loading games is fine its just when the executable needs a command to load the rom.
I use an openbox script which boots directly into kodi without any environment and load attract via kodi through advance program launcher. But the scipt can be edited so start anything. There are loads of way to get it to boot directly into an app.
I wrote a little shell that can be used to launch games via wine in attract here if anyone wants a play. You just point to wine point to the prefix you want to use set your games dir and exe and boom. Theres a example of the windows games.cfg I use to load the .sh's
