    My understanding is that lutris is a program whereas as Plasma is a desktop environment

    Yes, that’s right.

    so I guess I would be looking for plasma to start regardless and if connected to a ps5 controller then open lutris to big picture mode.

    Plasma (like many other desktop environments) can automatically launch whatever you like when you log in, if you create an XDG Autostart file for it in the $HOME/.config/autostart/ directory. (Hint: It uses the .desktop file format.)

    You could write a script that checks for a Playstation controller and launches Lutris if one is detected. You could then reference that script in the autostart file’s Exec= line.

    The simplest way I know of to detect a Playstation controller in a shell script would be something like this:

    #!/bin/sh
udevadm info -t |grep -q DRIVER=playstation && echo "Hello, Playstation!"

    You would have to make the script executable, and replace the echo command at the end with a lutris command line, of course.

    Terminology correction to your original post: Booting is something that a computer does when you power it on. Launching a game or game launcher (on a machine that has an OS) is not booting.

    This could use some clarification. Do you mean that you want…

    • Lutris or Plasma (depending on a detected game controller) to automatically launch as soon as your computer finishes booting, instead of the display manager that normally presents a login screen?
    • Lutris to automatically launch when you log in to a Plasma session while your PS5 controller is connected?
    • Lutris to automatically launch whenever you connect a controller while already logged in to a Plasma session?
    • Something else?

    The possibilities really depend on what you’re after.

    “The current Early Access version also falls short in terms of content volume.We are deeply disappointed by the former leadership’s conduct, and above all, we feel a profound sense of betrayal by their failure to honor the trust placed in them by our fans.”

    This statement seems manipulative to me. As a Subnautica fan, I have always been interested in quality of content, not how fast it gets created. I can wait for a good game. Krafton is trying to disguise their own profit-driven expectations as if they came from me and others like me, deceptively using us as pawns in guilt-laden psychological warfare against the people who have been developing the game.

    Dear publishers,

    Please don’t be like Krafton.
