Cool. I wonder how many people actually run Hurd and what the user experience and it's cases are like. I've known about it for ever. But to this day I can't say I've ever talked with anyone who runs it. No shade against Hurd of course. I like BeOS haiku and plan 9, so I'm certainly not trying to make a dig about user base.

I bet most Linux people haven't even Hurd of it.

Ive read about plan 9 and found it fascinating but really have no use case for it. What do you use plan 9 for? Any recommendations?

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 4 points 1 month ago

Honestly just tinkering. Getting much modern software on it is a bit of an exercise in futility. But playing around with basic programming in a terminal can still be fascinating and a lot of fun. The concepts of the os have always interested me a lot. It as well as inferno.

Nobody runs Hurd outside of testing or developing it. It's not ready for actual daily computing.
