In my opinion the ideal situation would be a backend that any developer could build a frontend to that would suit their approach. For example there are many Retroarch frontends like Highscore, EmulationStation, etc. These all suit the needs for what some person may want. Source: about 1 year ago

Rather soon, I'm going to be moving in with my s/o, and when that happens, I'd like to set up my existing desktop in the living room as a gaming machine. Since it's for going to be mainly for games, I want there to be as little need for mouse/keyboard, or any sort of desktop interaction, which is something that seems like linux could be great for (reading the pinned for this sub, GamerOS seems like it could be nice).

Propably not what you would like to here, but you could try something like Gamer OS. Haven't tried it myself so I don't know if it is really 100% usable without a mouse like they promise. Source: almost 3 years ago
If you want an out of the box / console-like experience on your PC, then install Gamer OS. Source: almost 3 years ago
