It's just I've seen your sentiment before from others but have never read anything substantive on just general grumbling where the networking for graphics moved on the stack
Political action can happen, and probably needs to happen, so I am glad there are at least some still pushing for it. It's up to the rest of us to make it a technical reality though.
To be honest I've been disappointed by x11 over the network. It was very cool when I first learned of it, but just hasn't kept up with the heavier GUIs IMHO. There is waypipe if you want the same features x11 networking did. I am personally excited to see where remote application viewing can really go as we move off of X. An example of what some are working on with KDE plasma 6 Wayland for remote desktop/app: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aPx5tEruG_k
For me an issue on the other side is that it can be hard to leadership to pay money for FOSS. This more true the less informed they are. Personally one thing I see that would help if CTO level folks had business reasons for buying down risk by getting SLAs for CVE support, and investing in major work to reduce technical debt when using FOSS. US federal government there are tons of laws and orders that are suppose to encourage using and paying for FOSS but the federal government isn't ran by technical people, so it's hit and miss on adoption.
I've looked at private 5g for this a couple times using something like Openstack Magma. Get me and few friends and family and I've have decent coverage I think.
Fortunately or unfortunately I think there is plenty of time before successful adoption starts to impact the majority of IT related careers. Just based on the rate of adoption of other useful but complicated IT frameworks like k8s.
I'm a big fan of high availability software rollouts. It would be interesting to see this do a live update where you spin up the new compositor, run some test on it, if it passes hand off, if that succeds kill the old one. Minimal disruption for the end user.
Kind of neat for desktop users, but for kiosks or other always running GUIs its super cool to me
Open colletive is pretty good for donations. Someone might have or might be able to tie that a reading list and tracking. I don't know if anything like that myself though at the moment.
I think certified distro would go long way. Say this is what it takes to a certified workstation so that people can do basic things using the same tools and guides.
Non-digital, smart (electronics on the device processes all the data and responds to them in some automated fashion), and dumb (sends data and recives commands from external device or service). I personally love it, seems like actual terms and not just marketing BS.
Yeah we need to fix our "third party" data collection laws probably more at the source of the problem. Third parties like ISPs, platforms, and other companies part of the surveillance economy have too many rights to collect and distribute PII and to few legal and technical protections for people's privacy.
Better to see more creativity then the real solution most small businesses go for of just making a face book page and letting FB handle their design for them.
I think a lot of people just won't endorse snap as long as it's backend is proprietary
