  "text": "Hi HN! I&#x27;ve been working on Bor, an open-source system for centralized Linux desktop management.<p>Bor consists of a lightweight Go agent and a central server. Policies are streamed to clients over mTLS&#x2F;gRPC in real time—no polling—and currently support Firefox, Chrome, KDE, dconf, polkit and package management, with more coming.<p>Version 0.8 introduces several new policy types - Thunderbird, Microsoft Edge for Business and FirewallD zones, along with a number of improvements and fixes.<p>I&#x27;d love feedback on the architecture, policy model, and whether this is something you&#x27;d consider for managing Linux workstations.",
