For switching between monitors and the tv, just get an hdmi selector with a remote. Something like this for example. That way you just turn on your pc with the controller and switch to the tv with the selector remote. As for starting in steam big picture mode, you can’t have it both ways. You can do either or as far as I know. You could try installing cachy OS regular desktop then install the handheld package, which puts an icon on your desktop that when you click, it takes you to big picture mode. Although, I’m not sure whether or not the handheld package causes the machine to boot directly into big picture mode.

    You can force steam to start in big picture mode with the -gamepadui argument. And you can always switch between desktop and big picture mode, at least when you have a normal window manager running. Booting into big picture mode would entail launching gamescope and launching Steam inside that.
