From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

I'm at the couch constantly and just use a wireless keyboard and mouse on the coffee table. The mouse also works fine next to me on the couch as long as I'm not gaming that way.
I did explore the possibility of scrolling options with the TV remote a while back, but the vast majority of PC video cards do not support HDMI-CEC.
Your video card doesn't need to support CEC if you can get your hand on one of those: https://www.pulse-eight.com/p/104/usb-hdmi-cec-adapter
@circuitfarmer I do that too, but honestly, I wish I could use my Xbox controller instead.
