    • Project mention: GNU/Hurd strikes back: How to use the legendary OS in a (somewhat) practical way | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-07

    Even in the noncommercial world, Hurd's gone precisely nowhere. RedoxOS is a toy and had a GUI within a year or so. Brutal got in within two. SerenityOS not only built a GUI but the beginnings of the first greenfield web browser to gain any semblance of modern standards support in the past several decades. Honestly, what's Hurd doing wrong to flounder so hard?
