No, they never offered anything official ... even though they knew for 99% certain that it would never be signed without a right of return. That 1% chance it would be signed meant Israel can not and will not offer anything real.

A slow motion ethnic cleansing of greater Israel (with maybe some speedup if there is a WW3) has and will continue to be the only plan which is politically acceptable in Israel, the rest is just distraction. That's not to say there aren't significant forces inside Israel for other solutions, but they are more easily distracted than the Greater Israelites.

Any new Linux ecosystem would need phones as well as laptops/desktops, a decent revenue stream ... and a hook to get people in. Valve has a really good hook and revenue stream, but they lack the dreams of world domination like say Mark Shuttleworth has.

Merge Canonical and Valve, then start copying every good idea from Apple, Google and Microsoft. Virtualisation for security (Microsoft) and stability (ChromeOS). Chromebook hardware/firmware development model. Userfriendly disk encryption (Microsoft and Apple). Cloud account with strong advantages without disallowing local accounts (Apple). A good sandbox and a store anal about apps using it correctly and about privacy guarantees (Apple) but without removing sideloading and alternative stores. Copy Time machine, but with cloud support and third party cloud support with E2EE (an online account with a backup should get a computer running with just a logon).

Maybe eventually start copying Active Directory features necessary for enterprise too.
