  • Desktop as a service. With the latest feature being worked where apps can be handed off to another compositor, I want the next stage where my compositor and desktop can be swapped with my intervention or notice. Wanna do redundancy? Running the backup live as a hot swap. Wanna do live updates with no interruption? Start the next compositor, try and loads the apps, if nothing breaks, swap the user, if the user doesn’t hit the notification to revert kill the last session.

    Add in better remote compositor support and it can get really cool. Allowing for a distributed DE across your devices. Making high availability more possible as well, but that might actually be overkill.


  • Oh man I was playing with Mycroft and Mozzilla’s Deepspeach back in the day just for this. Though honestly a free desktop supported API that apps could integrate still seems like the best way for this. The next one would be getting Voice User Interface (VUI) support into major frameworks so it’s just native to apps built with major frame works. The latter makes more sense AFTER the desktop API starts getting standardized.
