nixcon north america was sponsored by anduril https://nixos-users-against-mic-sponsorship.github.io/

my personal wishlist would just be a proper homeserver and the typical home theatre stuff like a nice big screen, speakers, etc.

in a broader sense of how the ecosystem would be improved, i'd say more open source projects and solidarity in general. currently the worst, yet most common sort of piracy is people searching "watch blank online free" and clicking the shady websites full of junk ads, popups and malware just to see a shitty heavily compressed buffering version with baked in subtitles and stuff. piracy should be for the people, not for profit; lowering the amount of technical hoops you need to jump through to get to the good accessible media by having simple, free, and open tools would help a lot.

you can install emudeck on any regular linux distro

cool acronym have you tried conducting your research anywhere besides urban dictionary? needlessly perpetuating the casual use of a term of evidently racist origin is an affront to the collaborative spirit of free software that allows us to behold such beautiful configurations and customizations

with dolphin specifically, you don't want to connect the wiimote through the bluetooth interface, as dolphin has it built in to handle wiimotes already; see https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/configuring-controllers/#Real_Wii_Remote

KDE Connect

obs, flameshot/sharex, and 7-zip

if you can't get xwiimote working for you, there's also cwiid. http://abstrakraft.github.io/cwiid/

I think NixOS would stand to benefit a lot by taking inspiration from openSUSE's YaST system configuration tool. I think that if NixOS had a well supported graphical interface for creating and managing the system config, it would become so much more accessible to a very wide range of users who never would have given it a try otherwise, which in turn would bring in tons of new users and developers who will want to improve nixpkgs, etc.

also syncthing, if you'd like to synchronize a directory to act like a shared folder and be identical on both devices

pipepipe and rimusic is what i use. youtube in the browser is fine too, if you disable that "open in the youtube app" popup (firefox for android with ublock origin addon is what i use, although i have experienced some regressions with the ad-blocker not working after youtube updates something, but ublock is usually on top of it and fixes stuff quickly).

also, the sponsorblock addon works on mobile and there is an addon that allows videos to play in the background if you need that. i haven't tested this with youtube music in the browser but i wouldn't be surprised if it also worked.
