I want to try this for sure, but was that an out of the box solution?
I have a PC but it can’t use HDMI CEC correctly, so I would have to buy an adapter, then buy a special remote, configure that, then figure out how I want my boot storage encrypted or not.
What’s the app/service situation like?
It basically is for me, but then again I am personally plenty happy to use a normal keyboard and normal (trackball) mouse, both wireless, to control a desktop OS with slightly bumped-up display scaling. I know there are alternatives for media browsing but I prefer the desktop levels of flexibility at all times
