I'm messing around with my OrangePi5 again, gonna experiment with Armbian and DietPi again. As both offer a minimal installer, I'll want to add a DE, or at least a graphical interface that can run at boot and let me control it with a bluetooth controller.

If not a full DE, just what packages should I experiment with?

Already got a bunch I bought mainly for playing on PC and Switch, a "G6 Wireless Controller" which, despite being cheap, works great.

I do have a wireless keyboard with a builtin trackpad, but what I want is to be able to just turn the little board on, connect the controller and get going
