How exactly are you doing this, using PlayNite?
Why? Aren't the game launchers like Steam, Battle.net etc easy enough for you to use, it must be totally streamlined?
Compare how easy Steam etc are to use compared to back then when we had to install every game with CDs or even diskettes, and then patch them regularly over CDs etc. - it's so easy. I don't see the need for it to be even easier.
Have to set up a proper trigger to wake up the PC just with the controller.
I use my wireless mouse when I'm not at the PC table. Also got a smaller 2nd (wireless) Keyboard for that. I don't AFK that much so that it goes into sleep, but if i'd move my mouse 1 inch it wakes my TV up anyway then, that being said, as TVs don't have standby modes it still eats 160W (TV+AVR) even with a black screen then, while monitors go into deep standby and eat nearly nothing, so it's simply better to not go AFK with the TV being in use.
If you dont use Xbox Games or the Xbox app, need to disable it or it will open up when you press certain buttons.
Doesn't happen with my system, maybe I have deactivated it, not sure, but i literally have 0 hassle here. I use "monitor switcher" to switch my setups, btw. - it's a very small app. Without that, the hassle is real.
Maybe you missed the part where I said I replaced my Xbox, so its couch gaming and its the living room TV.
Yea I wasn't sure what your setup is, you meant it literally. Well it doesn't really change my arguments, tbh.
I dont think that replacing a console is that special and there are plenty of others that dont want a Playstation or Xbox but want the same experience on their living room.
It's not but using Linux at the same time, is. + your need to have every app streamlined into one, which is also unnecessary. Like I said, just compare to old times, whatever you do today, it's still super easy and relaxed. That being said, I'm gonna look into "PlayNite". But I mostly play at the office table anyway. I only switch for controller games.
