Hi All,

I am looking at starting a project and was wondering if there was a way to make it so a controller type changed boot conditions. I want to move to linux for my home entertainment and would like to have a ps5 controller boot Lutris and a different controller boot into something like KDE plasma.

Is this a possibility or nonsense?

    “rebooting” is not a thing ova here. yeah, you can accomplish that but that’s not what you want. utilising something like InputRemapper + e.g. Plasma shortcuts, you can launch a big-picture UI, like steam or plama-bigscreen when it’s ready or somesuch, when you press a key combo on the controller or mouse or keyboard or any combination thereof.

      Yeah I suppose rebooting is the incorrect path or word. I am looking to closely mirror the current setup of smart tv, console, streaming box etc. all on one machine.

      The keyboard is unlikely to be used by anyone other than me, I am to do some research on an appropriate tv style remote to select apps and use within apps.
