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?

kde can be controlled with a gamepad (tho it’s a setting you need to activate first), but in my experience it was pretty janky. maybe it’s better now? it’s an option to consider, at least

they also have plasma bigscreen which works better with a controller, but since it’s pretty recent (iirc it only got added in plasma 6.7, the latest major release) i doubt it will be in debian’s repos
