Yuzu Toolbox (previously known as PineappleEA-GUI) is an all in one app for installing Yuzu-EA, managing saves and shader caches, and mod management. The app is entirely open source and easily available on Itch as well!
Big update time!:
This update brings a few minor bug fixes and an updated game index, in addition to some QOL changes such as a “Delete all mods” button, which will delete all of the mods for the currently selected game. The update also brings the ability to set the desired executable name upon install. A lot of the multi-threaded aspects had to be tweaked to work with new thread safety in Godot 4.1, but the app now supports it! This update also brings about a highly requested feature, auto-updating. By launching the app with --launcher or setting your shortcut to use auto updating launching the app will check your Yuzu version, and if old update it before launching Yuzu and closing itself.

Hmm, you don’t think it would be off topic? Technically the pineapple version of early access could kinda be considered piracy but I’m not sure that would qualify it for the piracy sub
Personally I don’t think so, it’s related to modding and emulating Nintendo games, which is directly associated with piracy, and it’s also a simple way to mod TOTK which has gained so much traction lately to the point of banning an entire subreddit.
But you could send a direct message to one of the mods in the community to see if they approve the post or if it could be considered offtopic.
And by the way, I agree with you packaging it as a flatpak (where I find it funny, because it could be considered a grey area in relation to piracy, because there are emulators like Yuzu and RPCS3, and even a Minecraft launcher that doesn’t need an account to play, check out their FAQ on their website), but I understand that flatpak packaging is a pain because of the process it takes, so maybe for now you could aim a bit more to use appimages.
