          Arch is high skill floor high skill ceiling. Once you get good you can do really cool things with it. GNU/Herd is high skill floor low skill ceiling. If you’re really good and practice really hard, eventually you’ll be able to do things that could have been easier achieved with literally anything else.

        yes in a vm, specificly Debian GNU/hurd, works suprisingly, main issues is lack of hardware support, for usage as a vm guest, I would say it is already better than half of the BSDs

          Similar experience.

          Except, props to the BSDs (especially OpenBSD), for being so much more coherent systems, as perhaps seen best (or at least easiest) in its man pages.

          It’s kinda part of the original point… to make a complete free software operating system…

          Still, was nice that the Linux kernel came along to make things easier than the more advanced approach Hurd was taking.

          Linux Libre + GNU, and got the point of GNU none the less. :)
