    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?

      CEC support OOTB isnt great on just a desktop OS, though Plasma (KDE) is dropping a big screen version in the near future that might fit the bill with a lot less tinkering. In the meantime https://osmc.tv/vero/ is probably your best bet

      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
