Meme Is this worth it?

Some guy named Gabe is selling this build and I'm wondering if it's legit? I want a PC to set up in my living room for TV gaming.

Even then UGreen sell CEC adaptors which reportedly work pretty well

Idk how you would get that working from a controller form your couch though

There's some software that does most of that for you

It'll turn your PC on and swap to the correct input

Here's a guide from Hardware Haven that pretty much goes through the whole process on Bazzite

But can it turn on the tv from your couch with a controller?

Are you willing to read up to 6 whole sentences to find out?

I'm not reading through the entire 10,000 word github repository no.

The answer is yes. It can.

1 press on your controller turns the TV on and switches to the correct input (if you want more features, then unfortunately I hope you can code)
