I setup a micro PC with Ubuntu and plugged it into my TV for media streaming, and was just wondering if there was a way to optimize the experience for non KBM
KDE has Plasma BigScreen. It even maps remotes to regular common keybinds so you can navigate apps without native support for that kind of use.
I haven’t seen it in the wild and I don’t think there are many apps that do integrate very well with it, but it exists to mess with.
Personally, I use Kodi for that. It works very well with minimal keyboard and no mouse (though it can handle both), so much so that I’ve run it for years using only an IR remote.
Awesome, I will look more into that!
@TheMonkeyLord #AntiMicroX is a good choice for mapping controllers to keyboard/mouse functions. I use it daily to control my computer from a flight-stick when I just want to lay back and watch stuff.

Kodi works well.
Or if you do more gaming-things Steam’s Big Picture mode.
OpenGamepadUI works well as a FOSS alternative to Steam if you’d like that as well.
