I use the TV remote control for the basic stuff. If I need to type something longer or more options, than I switch to Kore (official Kodi remote by the same developers). You just need the phone to be in the same network.

Never felt the need to connect keyboard+mouse.

I’m running a RPI4 with LibreELEC + Kodi.

YouTube runs better than the official app, at least for my needs.

LibreELEC + Kodi works out of the box with the TV Remote. And you can use Kore (android app) to get a full keyboard.

I’m just going to leave this and this here.

Never touched heroic launcher so can’t really help you there. Normally I just use Lutris, works without fail every time.

Can you change the runner in heroic launcher? Like proton instead of wine?

Indeed I’m, try it in a VM in whatever system he wants.

openSUSE tumbleweed normal installation image doesn’t have a live system to try. Although there is a live image to try it in a VM, but you can’t use it to install. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Better to try it in a VM before having the work to install it on bare metal.

Try openSUSE tumbleweed in a VM if plasma is your thing. IMHO is one of the best plasma implementations I’ve tried.

I’ve been using it for a year now, does everything I need. No problems whatsoever in gaming.

The only thing I had to do, was enable a extra repo in YAST for installing the codecs to be able to play movies and such.
