Hello good folk of Lemmy!

Recently been planning on setting up Bazzite on a miniPC to act as a HTPC to replace my Nvidia shield. I want to stream games to it, as well as use Stremio easily. Figured it would be good to have a remote for using it open apps of my choosing etc… Afaik the best contenders are Flirc and Sofabaton. They both seem like both contenders to me so seeking some experiences to be shared for those of us new to HTPC world. Are these good, are there any other alternatives?

Thanks in advance.
