Could you build this?
Partial A Switch-style launcher UI with controller navigation is vibe-codeable, but a true desktop/HOME replacement and per-game performance tuning need OS-level hooks (window management, process priority, GPU/driver settings) that AI-assisted coding handles poorly.
What it would actually take: Build an Electron or Tauri app for the UI, with a gamepad input layer (XInput/SDL2) and a library scanner that reads installed games from Steam, Epic, and Windows shortcuts. The hard parts are the native pieces: a shell-replacement or fullscreen mode that survives Windows updates, and applying per-game settings (affinity, power plan, GPU profiles) safely through Win32 and vendor APIs. That requires a developer comfortable with Windows internals and driver-level APIs, not just a React front end.
