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.

Functionally, it's the right thing I'm looking for, but it's not polished enough to fulfill my needs.

If this allowed folders and a GUI for settings, I think it'd be a winner.

You can customize the look quite a bit. You can use whatever images/icons you like. For example I've just been using boxart for games. You can also define submenus kind of like folders. The configuration is manually editing a file so you won't be able to use a GUI. It's not too dificult to modify though.
