To be fair: Linus didn't predict how painful email is in 2025. Self hosting email is a useless attempt if 99% of your emails land in spam anyways, and only spammer emails land in your inbox because they pay for azure or google business accounts.

The general issue that git has is making them interact with each other, I would love for git to get distributed issues, and a nice client UI that is actually graphical and usable by non-terminal users.

There were some attempts to make this distributed and discoverable via similar seed architectures like a DHT. For example, radicle comes to mind.

But staying in sync with hundreds of remotes and hundreds of branches is generally not what git is good at. All UIs aren't made for this.

I'm pointing this out because I am still trying to build a UI for this [1] which turned out to be much more painful than expected initially.
