I’m looking for the simplest form of UI to launch multiple different programs, including some games.
Currently running Windows 10 and using a FLIRC Skip 1S for launching Jellyfin and watching shows. Anything beyond those basic functions requires the wireless keyboard.
My goal is to not need the keyboard for anything and to launch games and all with the remote *or controller.
I run Bazzite, primarily gaming for everything, added jellyfin as a non steam app. Works pretty well. Wish jellyfin had a slightly better interface but overall decent.
Most everything works with the controller, and for anything that doesn’t steam will emulate a keyboard and mouse for, but I keep a keyboard next to it just in case
Do you use steam big picture mode?
I’d prefer not integrating Steam too much, since this is a shared computer that my kids also use.
I do like the UI of big picture mode, so if there were something similar that could be used by a remote or controller, that’d be top tier. Steam games could be added in via shortcuts
Maybe you can check KDE Bigscreen. It’s more like a preset that you can download for a KDE desktop but is a basic tv ui
Oh fuck yeah this looks like the one.
Probably gonna do Fedora + KDE Bigscreen.
EDIT: It’s not released yet due to inactive development… bummer.
It released, but for the prior version of KDE, not current.
That said, take a look at Application Dashboard, Plasma Drawer, and maybe Rocket but I don’t think its been updated in a few years.
