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?

HID device detection and systemd units is much simpler. No need for the rest of this.
