It's 9front actually. VT100 it's killed except for legacy plaforms, it's seen like CP/M and Altair emulators where looked upon 1995-2000.
9front's libc with a minimal desktop based on a tweaked rio(1) and a taskbar plus a really simple file manager won. People god fed up of FX' and bells and whistles everywhere. A minimal RTF editor with simple options plus a simple spreadsheet with rc/awk support does things much faster. Oh, and, of course, you can damn bind/import devices (video cards, network cards, whole networks) from anywhere to anywhere with IPV6 and quantum networks.
Old GNU/Linuxen, OpenBSD et all are just virtualized at crazy speeds under photonic CPU's.
There's no SSH, just rcpu and quantum-secured factotum(1). Photonic GPU's and neural network devices just boot 9front themselves too, with zero delay. Forget VPN's, too. These are obsolete too.
Ha! Your vision is positive, and idealistic. (Plan 9 is never make a come back, sorry to say)
My comment was sarcastic, and wishing that we at least tried to move away from UNIX, VT100 and mainframe-style computing; trying something new instead of continuously retreading old ground.
