For this we would need a third machine - should we just aim to reuse COMPAT and PERF? and make it a requirements that those machines are also setup to build WiiU and Switch?

we wouldn't need a third machine, we'd just need a third var
if we wanted to use a different machine that is more in line with whatever ubuntu-latest is at any given point we'd have that option, but we can also just set that var to be the same as either compat or perf

it also may be possible (since these jobs use docker) to run this on either perf or compat, in which case we could have
LINUX_RUNNER: ['self-hosted', 'linux']
LINUX_PERFORMANCE_RUNNER: ['self-hosted', 'linux', 'perf']
LINUX_COMPATIBILITY_RUNNER: ['self-hosted', 'linux', 'compat']

Ah that's a good point! This last plan sounds good :D forgot that its just vars we can set to anything

I wonder if it might be worth moving the linux runners to use docker images as well -- one for 22.04 and one for 20.04 just for the sake of it running on any linux machine without having to setup deps on it.

For example the images here: https://github.com/devcontainers/images/tree/main/src/cpp - which is what I used for the code spaces

This isn't the prettiest, and I still wish we could have found a cleaner way to do this (preferably without json parsing), but this should do the trick for now.
repo variables should be set using the following format:
