• You can choose up to 10 software projects.
  • Each project receives 10 years of development time as if all the programmers worked continuously for that duration, following their current working methods.
  • After choosing these 10 (or less) projects, everything else remains unchanged in the world, as if time has been frozen for 10 years.

Which projects do you choose?

    For me it would be:

    • Helix: Great editor but needs a lot of development
    • Lemmy: 3rd party frontends would have a hard time to catch up with changes, but it’s worth it anyway
    • GNU: they could update some stuff and also hurd kernel looks really interesting
    • Arch Linux: maybe they would improve wiki or write some software to make life easier on arch
    • .NET: I know that microsoft bad but I really like .NET, and it’s devs are doing really nice stuff. And it’s FOSS
    • LibreOffice: they could integrate LLMs into their apps maybe
    • Wayland: why not?
    • Firefox: maybe they will improve performance and catch up with some css features
    • Hyprland: it’s working fine at it’s current state, but it always can be better
    • Nouveau: it would be a nice alternative to proprietary nvidia drivers

    Kubernetes so that it can peak already and then die off.

    Disclaimer - I make a living on k8s based solutions and I’m over the stupid complexity for little benefit. It’s like expecting everyone to be a “10x” engineer or some shit when reality is that most of us are just over here sniffing glue.

    (I explain and link to the ones that I don’t think everyone here would know about)

    • Lemmy

    • ActivityPub

    • Firefox (Chromium should go the way of IE)

    • Godot

    • WINE

    • Cinnamon (the desktop environment developed for Linux Mint, so we can get Wayland support)

    • Box86/Box64

    • Darling (macOS compatibility layer for Linux, plans to support running iOS apps when running on on ARM machines in the future, I want this primarily for iOS preservation purposes)

    • Xemu (Original Xbox emulator, OG Xboxes are some of the most failure prone consoles and a game I want to play still has serious issues)

    • Haiku (mostly for really nerdy shits and giggles honestly, but there’s a part of me that thinks it could be a better consumer grade FOSS OS than GNU/Linux if it were more developed and had any actual software support. As it stands, like it’s proprietary predecessor BeOS, it’s just a toy. It’s no less stupid than investing your theoretical time in Hurd IMO)

    Edit: There are even more projects that need some development like Linux, Wayland and some BSDs
