First, we need to make sure Flatpak is installed on your system. Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt install flatpak

2. Add Flathub Repository

Next, we'll add the Flathub repository, which hosts a wide variety of Flatpak applications:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

3. Install Dolphin Emulator

Now, let's install Dolphin Emulator using Flatpak:

sudo flatpak install flathub org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu

Post-Installation

After the installation is complete, it's recommended to restart your computer to ensure all changes take effect. Once your system is back up, you can launch Dolphin Emulator from your application menu.

Using Dolphin Emulator

When you first launch Dolphin, you might want to configure your controllers and adjust graphics settings for optimal performance. Remember, you'll need to provide your own game files (ROMs) to play games with Dolphin. Please ensure you only use ROMs for games you legally own.
