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.
