#Linux became #slopware. The best #GNU/Linux distro still depends on #AI
slop. #Hurd is not ready yet. #Hyperbola #BSD needs support in order to
fully properly switch from a #GNU/Linux OS to a GNU? #BSD one.
Depressing times, but maybe enlightening ones too. Linux since 1996 was
just a corporate workauround to drive commercial Unix tools on it.
In the end #IBM won. My tip for the #GN[U] develoepers for #GUIX:
consider Unix dead. Don't try to resurrect it. It's finished, rotten,
bloated, propietarized, outdated. Ironically the licensed GPLv2 kernel
with less blobs than Linux came from AT&T and it's Unix 2.0.
They already did Unix better than Unix itself. Either you focus and enhance
#Hurd, or lose against the blobslop OS. Make an outstanding FS on Hurd.
Give more rights to the user than the shitty layers of #dbus/#polkit and the
like to fix the lack of proper namespaces on Linux.
I said 'proper', Plan9/9front it's light years ahead.
Don't get just 'well enough' with X11/wayland. You can do better stuff.
Ditto with Emacs, forget coreutils, reimplement everything you
can with jitted Elisp and Elisp code replacing these outdated Unix
tools. Eshell can be a better shell. The 9front folks already did it
with 'rc' simplyfing Unxi shells to the extreme.
