You can choose up to 10 software projects.
Each project receives 10 years of development time as if all the programmers worked continuously for that duration, following their current working methods.
After choosing these 10 (or less) projects, everything else remains unchanged in the world, as if time has been frozen for 10 years.

Which projects do you choose?

For me it would be:

Helix: Great editor but needs a lot of development
Lemmy: 3rd party frontends would have a hard time to catch up with changes, but it's worth it anyway
GNU: they could update some stuff and also hurd kernel looks really interesting
Arch Linux: maybe they would improve wiki or write some software to make life easier on arch
.NET: I know that microsoft bad but I really like .NET, and it's devs are doing really nice stuff. And it's FOSS
LibreOffice: they could integrate LLMs into their apps maybe
Wayland: why not?
Firefox: maybe they will improve performance and catch up with some css features
Hyprland: it's working fine at it's current state, but it always can be better
Nouveau: it would be a nice alternative to proprietary nvidia drivers

What about Mono? Looks like most of the people working on .NET are working out of Redmond at Microsoft.
