I have been conceptualizing what it would take to abstract away the actual physical workstation into a back-end processing system and multiple UI modules physically scattered throughout my home (I work from home) and grounds.
For example, as in shift my workspace from my upstairs office to my downstairs work area just by signing in on the different console setup downstairs. All of my in-process work comes right back up. Right now I do this (kind of) using VMs, but they are limited when addressing hardware, and now I am multiplying that hardware.
Same thing with my streams - Switch my audio or video to the next room/zone where I want to move myself to. Start researching how to correctly adjust my weed whip's carburetor, then go out to the garage and pull up my console there where my work bench is and the dismantled tool.
Eventually my system would track my whereabouts, with the ability (optionally turned on) to automatically shift that IO to the closest hardware setup to me as I move around the structure/property.
And do something like this for each person? So my wife has her streams? Separate back end instance, same mobility to front-end UI hardware?
Can this new Desktop Operating System be designed with that hardware abstraction in mind?
