Recommendations for first time users/owners

Hi! I'm new to this whole handheld scene and I just ordered my RG DS, my first brand handheld. I would like to ask for a few advice and handy tips, that would help me and potentially other new owners who stumble upon this post later.

I consider myself tech savy and I have a past with SBC-s, also set up my sister r36h console (costum OS on sd card, ports she wanted to be on it and also roms for specific systems).

Should I even try the stock OS or start with slapping something costum on it?

The chipset is way better than the r36h so I guess I can have portmaster working on the RG DS too. Can I somehow use the touchscreen as touchpad for games? Would be way better for Morrowind, and also great for playing something like Fallout 1-2.

My last question is to ask for game recommendations. :)
It would be great to have a recommendation for each genre or for different type/styles.

If I have time I'll tinker and try to improve it where I can, which I will share on this sub later. From what I have heard I might need to do something with the thermals and the battery/battery management. Sadly I don't have as much time as I used to have during college but I'll do what I can.

If there is any other tip you have, let everyone know!
