So, will Hurd ever be released?
>>
it has a release and a few distros
>>
>>107131907
A surprising amount of work has been accomplished on Hurd, given the 5 or so regular developers and next to no funding.

What's the purpose?

Stallman is a grifter who live off the work of other people. He and his kike friends don't have what it takes to make a working kernel.
Think about how useless those kikes are; Terry made a working kernel. Fucking /mlp/, make a working kernel. And those faggots, with a budget of millions in donations, don't.

>>107132120
It's a good idea to develop a backup kernel in case Linux dies or something.

Wow I didn't know 64bit support is now complete. They really have been busy might need to give this a look now. This is actually great timing. Has anyone tried it?

HobbyOS (which he developed on Ubuntu). At least Hurd can run on bare metal thanks to the Rump layer.

Go back.

Wouldn't it be easier to just hard fork the Linux kernel?

I imagine if something dire enough happened that irreparablely fucked up the Linux kernel, there'd be a lot of maintainers looking to jump ship.

>>107131907
I think Debian at least used to have a release, I wonder if that's still the case. I remember it being crashy as all fuck.

>>107132083
Is it actually still be developed? I thought it was shelved.

Is there a list of supported hardware? Or could it run on pretty much anything debian could?

The situation is improving dramatically thanks to the adoption of rump for hardware drivers. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 6 months, with the next Debian Hurd update, it will run one much more recent laptops. Once the critical amount of developers will start fixing it on their own hardware, considering the latest patches on the mailing list, I think there are good chances for this to take off in 6 months/one year.

i actually like the idea of a full GNU operating system. i guess guix is as close as it gets.

internet infrastructure is too non-free and would defeat the purpose

Interesting

>>107131907
Hurd will follow a similar trajectory to Plan9. The successor to Linux, if one appears, will come from a teracorp and have lots of strings attached.
