I’m not proposing anything here, I’m curious what you all think of the future.

What is your vision for what you want Linux to be?

I often read about wanting a smooth desktop experience like on MacOS, or having all the hardware and applications supported like Windows, or the convenience of Google products (mail, cloud storage, docs), etc.

A few years ago people were talking about convergence of phone/desktop, i.e. you plug your phone into a big screen and keyboard and it’s now your desktop computer. That’s one vision. ChromeOS has its “everything is in the cloud” vision. Stallman has his vision where no matter what it is, the most important part is that it’s free software.

If you could decide the future of personal computing, what would it be?

    DeX itself is just built into Samsung phones. DeX Max is a 3rd party app that merely forces some apps into fullscreen that would otherwise stay in the phone screen’s aspect ratio. I used it for Netflix which did not work in fullscreen under DeX at some point but I cancelled my Netflix, so I don’t care much anyway.
