    Couple reasons:

    RetroDeck is a flatpak and EmuDeck is basically a script that installs a bunch of custom stuff directly and configures it. I like the flatpak ecosystem and it makes more sense to me to do it that way so it’s self-contained. Seems like it’d be cleaner to remove/update/move the installation and less likely to break due to a SteamOS update

    EmuDeck is working on Windows/ROG Ally support, while RetroDeck is just for Linux and dev priorities are still fully focused on the Deck

    RetroDeck supports a couple fewer systems than EmuDeck, but they both cover all of the ones I care about personally.

    RetroDeck is also more closely partnered with EmulationStation-DE
