Huh, so that's why Hurd doesn't work? They just expected it to run on some alien tech?

The first response to the latest release is Everything's broken (was: Debian GNU/Hurd 2023 released!) and they pretty much beg you to only run it in a VM. So we can safely assume it's going to be stable until the end of the year. #2024YearOfHurdOnDesktop

"Everything's broken" / "only run it in a VM". Where have I heard that before? Oh yes. ReactOS.

Totally different OS project with some remarkable similarities, apparently.

ReactOS has a head start. Who will win?

Popcorn, anyone?

(But seriously, I'd very much like both to do well.)

#2024YearOfHurdOnDesktop

Sometimes you got to take a leap of faith πŸ«£πŸ‚πŸƒπŸ¦¬ 🀣

postscript : the guy who said everything was broken, seemed to just have had a broken filesystem, ironically the advantages of a microkernel like hurd led to him even being able to boot without a kernel panic() 🀯 πŸ€”

Could someone explain hurd to me? Who develops it, what makes it different? Is it a microkernel or unikernel?
