I’m messing around with my OrangePi5 again, gonna experiment with Armbian and DietPi again. As both offer a minimal installer, I’ll want to add a DE, or at least a graphical interface that can run at boot and let me control it with a bluetooth controller.
If not a full DE, just what packages should I experiment with?


My steam controller will act as a keyboard and mouse. I wonder if theres just a cheaper, more available controller out there that does whatever it is the steam controller is doing. It seems to work regardless of the DE, shit even the OS as it does it on my Linux computer and my work windows computer. If there is something like that it might be the way to go.
That’s a function of the Steam client, not the controller itself. I doubt you’d want to have that running on an Orange Pi.
Its actually a fallback built into the controller, I am having trouble locating another like that.
