Controller boot into gaming (lemmy.world)

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?

I think the bigger hurdle here is that you need to do some legwork and research, else you would not be here asking this question 😉

It's possible but then I'd ask why? What's the purpose of booting a different DE based on the controller type?

My guess is that they want only the necessary software to run when gaming, which KDE is not. But I'll let OP speak for themselves.
