Comment on KDE's Android TV alternative, Plasma Bigscreen, rises from the dead with a better UI

  I am just using Firefox to open web sites for most things. For games I open them directly. And I have kdeconnect to control it from my phone.

  Ideally I’d love a launcher that just stays on there forever, with some virtual desktop options where I can open different apps. If it can support game controller to choose apps along side kdeconnect it’d be the best.

    Theres usually at least some support for connecting game console controllers. That might be an option alongside kdeconnect for the games. I think ps4/xbox one and later both work out of the box over bluetooth. Not sure how it would work in firefox though.

      Game controller works fine in the computer. It’s the applications that need to support it. Problem is finding normal applications (not games) support it. I could map the controller to keyboard keys, but it’d be nice to have it work directly.
