Converting .cisos to .ISO for Nintendont

I am downloading / “backing-up” the files in .ciso format.

I can’t find an option in dolphin that will convert .ciso to .iso.

I have used wit program on command line like this:

wit copy —iso game.ciso game.iso

The output files are too large (4.4GB)

The compressed cisos were originally ~1.1GB, maybe less for a smaller game.

How can I convert my cisos to iso without expanding them to 4.4GB they should only be 1.4GB per GameCube game/ per disc.

Is there another conversion program available on Linux?

Should I get into Roguelikes?

I’ve been considering diving into the roguelike genre for a while. Various videos and websites mention that a "decent amount of patience" is required, but they never specify exactly how much.
I have some experience with NetHack and I'm comfortable in a terminal (Vim user, by the way), so I’m looking for the next thing to sink my teeth into. Ideally, I’d like something with pixel graphics and solid controller support. Usually I like games like Zelda with some puzzles and rpgs like earthbound. Lately I’ve been enjoying fire emblem and I’m looking for some strategy game. Is this genre the right next step for me? What should I try next?

Should I get Roblox?

I've been considering downloading Roblox for some time, mostly just to see if I can still feel anything like I did back in 2013. I remember those endless days lost in Minecraft, but lately, it feels like that spark is just... gone. It’s like the twinkle in my eye has faded, and I’m worried my capacity for genuine fun is just dwindling away. Various videos and websites talk about the specs and the mechanics, but they never touch on whether a person can still find that old sense of wonder. Help! I'm just wondering if the world has moved on, or if people are even capable of having fun the same way we used to, or if that magic has just permanently vanished for people like me.
