I'm looking for the simplest form of UI to launch multiple different programs, including some games.

Currently running Windows 10 and using a FLIRC Skip 1S for launching Jellyfin and watching shows. Anything beyond those basic functions requires the wireless keyboard.

My goal is to not need the keyboard for anything and to launch games and all with the remote *or controller.

It's still in active development, but you might want to keep an eye on Plasma Bigscreen. I've been looking for a similar setup to you, and it seems to tick all of the boxes, at least for me.

I only learned about it recently, and I've been too busy to try it in that time, but I'll edit this post with my impressions once I get the time to have a play with it.

Yeah another user mentioned this - definitely my #1 choice if it were fully released.
