I want to find a way to run each application I use on its own machine so that memory attacks (like spectre/meltdown, etc.) are theoretically impossible.
I still want to have a reasonable computing experience (e.g. copy + paste works and the experience is kind of like using one computer the normal way).
Any ideas? I was thinking some kind of remote desktop setup with a bunch of cheap boxes, each running Linux, on a LAN.
