Would uploading it to some PeerTube instance be a good solution?

all right, this looks like something relevant: https://github.com/eythaann/Seelen-UI

I would be interested to know the current state of this.

There might be something useful in here: https://desktop.kerahq.com/ https://gitlab.com/kerahq/Kera-Desktop

Very cool. Would it make sense to make a git repo for this, so that other interested people can find and contribute to it? Maybe it gets to the point where it gets merged back upstream.

Is there anything new in this area? Have any new GUI concepts been shown? Any progress on any of the other relevant projects?

In the last video chat Ross said that he is interested in seeing if WSL2/WSLg (WSL from now on) can somehow be used to replace Windows shell with some Linux DE. So that he would have some Windows-Linux hybrid. It probably isn't possible to use WSL as a full shell replacement like with other Windows shell alternatives. But from what I see, it is possible to run and display some DE as it's own application, so visually it's similar to virtual machine or remote desktop. As far as I know, WSL does allow running Windows programs from within the Linux environment. Not exactly sure how that is done and what kind of programs can be started. But it is there, and that makes WSL be much more fitting for creation of Windows-Linux hybrid than it would be say Linux running in VirtualBox using "seamless mode". Even if it is possible to get some desktop environment running well, there is still an issue of getting Windows shell out of the way, making it use absolutely minimum amount of resources, and re-implement the functionality in WSL desktop environment. There are many people with low-spec machines, so someone probably already stripped Windows 10 shell down to bare minimum, but there probably aren't many people who made WSL understand the full capabilities of the Windows host. Things like having XDG-Open point to Windows programs for relevant files and URLs, having shortcuts in Linux guest that open host's Control Panel or other settings, etc. I think that this idea of Windows-Linux hybrid is interesting, and should be explored further. Few relevant links that I found when doing a quick search about this topic: https://github.com/NathanCastle/BootShellCredentialProvider (looks outdated and abandoned) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SuERIEJJUA https://github.com/microsoft/wslg https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/

4 years later, many many new community chats have been released we need to find a technological solution to this, doing it manually would not be a good way to do it. Archive all Reddit threads with questions, archive recordings of Twitch chat, get some good speech recognition software and run it over the recording of chat, so that we at least work with transcripts instead of audio

Does anything here looks like an example of UI that Ross is looking for?

There is this thing that has been appearing on my radar recently. I know that it's meant to be more as a joke or spectacle than an actual user interface, but maybe something actually usable will come out of it:

Go glow in the dark in some deeper part of the internet ?

I tested it out quickly and it seems that it requires you to click. Turbo mode is just "keep menu open only while I am holding shortcut keys pressed", so it closes instantly when you release the keys. But whole project is free and open source. I'm sure that if some of us went to tinker with it, we could make it behave similarly to the interface draft that you made.
