Hey, the #ArchLinux User Repository (AUR) has an ryujinx-git update now. I was skeptical. This package builds itself directly from git, but there is no official #Ryujinx Git anymore (after that recent Nintendo threat). Also the pkgbuild shows a new maintainer ("username227" - hmm) and there is no communication about it (at least not within the AUR structures). When looking further into the pkgbuild, the git repo was changed (of course) to a fork called "GreemDev" which is quite active and even touches the emulator logic itself – other than most other whatever Emu forks that do things with the GUI and sometimes even malicious stuff, but often not more. Commit b21740c shows, they intend to be a direct continuation of the original. Looks better already.
Also back to the AUR package's new maintainer "username227". He maintains quite a bunch of packages, so he seems legit. Also the pkgbuild is fine, straight to the point, no strange things happening there.
While this is all no guarantee to be all good, I've tried it, being a Nintendo #Emulator addict that I am.
It works fine, it has a nice new happy little rainbow icon 🌈, and it picked up my config (including firmware) and game saves just fine.

Anyway: Just because I say it's fine, it doesn't have to be, so use it at your own risc. Stupidly the git fork location is on GitHub again, I mean, do people never learn? I give it 2 months max, before Nintendo cracks down on this as well.

Last thing. If you like an emulated switch game and you can afford it, buy it! It's only fair towards the developers.
