Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. (reddthat.com)

I use duck station on Android. It's freaking great. Does it even need updates? Dev doesn't owe anyone anything and drop Linux support if they want to. It's probably more a threat than anything else. Worse case scenario Linux support goes away and a competitor comes along eventually. Sounds great.

Nah, if the dev actually stops developing for Linux someone will fork the project, although to be honest the big majority of Yuzu forks just are a rename without any real changes to the code.
