Hi HN! I've been working on Bor, an open-source system for centralized Linux desktop management.Bor consists of a lightweight Go agent and a central server. Policies are streamed to clients over mTLS/gRPC in real time—no polling—and currently support Firefox, Chrome, KDE, dconf, polkit and package management, with more coming.Version 0.8 introduces several new policy types - Thunderbird, Microsoft Edge for Business and FirewallD zones, along with a number of improvements and fixes.I'd love feedback on the architecture, policy model, and whether this is something you'd consider for managing Linux workstations.

Go agent streaming policies is a smart architecture choice for low overhead desktop management.
centralized linux desktop management has been needed for a while
what protocol for policy streaming? grpc?
