What the fuck are you on about? I just build a Raspberry Pi based console running RetroPie with a custom cooler, fan, and power button with LED indicator. Check out my recent posts to 3D printing.
I compiled nothing but RetroPie since the Pi 5 isn't officially supported but it was dirt simple to do. Install Raspbian, clone RetroPie repo, run install script, press enter on the first option, wait a few hours.
Once again, you just suck at computing. Especially if after 15 years you still can't Bash. In 15 years I built a career as a senior linux engineer.

I just taught myself parametric CAD including both solid body and surface modeling in 3 months.
So you're stating on this post that you understand coding, and know how to compile. You're trying to "insult" me by saying I suck at computing.
Except I'm not insulted. You know who else sucks at it? EVERYBODY. It's like an auto mechanic trying to insult you for knowing how to change a muffler, and how it's so easy.
I don't know how to change a muffler. I just want to drive the car. Just like everybody else.
I just want to push a button, have my fan work, and play retro games. I don't want to have to bash in terminal. I don't want to compile a program. I just want to play video games.
And you know who else just wants it to work with no programming knowledge needed? EVERYBODY.
THAT is the reason that after 30+ years linux is at an all time high user base with less than 5% of the market, despite Apple being expensive as hell in a tough ecconomy, and Windows being universally agreed on as being dog shit. People STILL don't want to switch to linjx because NOBODY understands it or wants to deal with it.
They'd rather deal with Windows 11 spying on your screen, or paying an assload for a mac than deal with linux.
Some of us like linux and want to deal with it...
Boy that's a lot of work just to play some old crap from more than 30 years ago
I made a fucking console from the ground up. I didn't do it to be easy -- I did it because I could, and now I have something unique that is amazing to use, gorgeous to look at, runs everything up to Dreamcast/Dolphin with ease. And anyone can do it with the STLs I give away.
It even supports bluetooth audio but I will admit getting that to work was the only pain point of the whole build, but mostly because my un-official build didn't have bluetooth support out of the box for audio so I needed to install the pipewire service and enable audio to the bluetooth device. Still only took a few minutes to work out.
