IT guy here, since more and more services have moved to be web based services rather than being local programs means that we need less policy management for local machines, this finally loosen the grip that Microsoft has had on the market through Active Directory and 365.
It is still needed, but to a lesser extent, which opens the door for competitors, and new concepts.
As an IT guy who started just before the big cloud shift I miss on-prem hardware, but the cloud has definately opened new concepts that Europe can use to take back our infrastructure from the claws of the US tech sector and bring it home.
I see a future where European governments and companies will host their own cloud services on a combination of their own hardware and a distributed platform.
Yeah, though with the shift of running everything in the browser these days I think we can get by with something more like an MDM, it is far easier to manage a secure part of a computer rather than securing the entire computer.
We just need to figure out a trusted way to do it on Linux and BSD so that companies and government organizations can feel confident using the system.

the hardest part is the dependence on Active Directory, which almost all governments and big companies use it.
yeah, I know there are open source solutions for this, but they are not as easy to manage as Active Directory.

do you have any recommendations for good MDM software?
I have only used Mobile Iron and Intune, both American, so no.
