Controller boot into gaming (lemmy.world)

Hi All,

I am looking at starting a project and was wondering if there was a way to make it so a controller type changed boot conditions. I want to move to linux for my home entertainment and would like to have a ps5 controller boot Lutris and a different controller boot into something like KDE plasma.

Is this a possibility or nonsense?

Certainly seems like you could make a udev rule to do something along these lines, I know you can execute specific commands /w udev, whether or not you can enable or disable a system service or whatever, I dunno, guess you could always execute a custom start script before WM that decides which WM to start
