This, but LibreELEC or other Kodi distributions suck. They are too limited. Until recently, the best solution was to run a full Linux DE, but now there is Plasma Bigscreen[0] for that. This is basically a DE optimized for couch use with a remote. You can run Kodi as an app, but also stream from a browser, or play games with Steam, etc.

This looks great, it just needs some hardware to run on with a nice remote. Does any hardware like that exist?

An airmouse remote, ideally with a keyboard on the back, works very well. It's particularly useful if you want to run "apps" that that not specifically designed for ten-foot use, and expect mouse or keyboard input.

Via KDE Connect, you can also use your smartphone as touchpad to control the cursor or to act as remote keyboard.

An Xbox/PlayStation controller is cheap and high quality.
