Try 9front! I&#39;ve seen lots of folks using NetBSD for that and I think that&#39;s great, however I think 9front is uniquely positioned in the fact that it really does kinda do everything itself. Compiler, libc, graphical libraries, ssh client, git implementation, torrent client, smb etc. all of this written from the ground up.<br/> 2026-10-19T22:58:25Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstu3rgcyavzxpv7ehn6lwn0cu3yxfr5045ya3njmnna8rc58m62wczyptu9cd47u3zg4cxtuwwjw9nxa845kqm4echzw9vrj6j9lm9zzffc0xydvl Together with <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq4nch3v63u2cqcuaqkhqr034uqt5xh455pugrky9yfn9j9n4vxy5q7u00kw" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>ori</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…00kw</span>)</a></span> we were able to cut 9front fresh gefs install times down to ~20 seconds in qemu yesterday.

I have said as much before, but I think people underestimate what percentage of their definition of &#39;usable computer&#39; is only possible by the grace of companies. If your idea of usable operating system precludes a modern web browser I hope you have friends at google or mozilla. If your idea of a usable operating system is one with working modern GPU drivers I hope you have friends at Nvidia or AMD. In other words, corporate interests have already captured your favorite popular operating system and have tied their own insurmountable(by outsiders for the most part) work to the very definition of what a ie functional linux system is for desktop use.<br/><br/>Point is, if you want if you want anti-llm operating systems and software, you know where to find it, you just cant expect it to coexist with corporate interests and perhaps we could be a bit more honest about how much that impacts what folks define as a &#39;usable&#39; system.<br/><br/>I say this, posting from a linux install, so I sit comfortably in my glass house. However I think we need to stop fooling ourselves in to thinking linux or any product propped up by corporate involvement as anything but a corporate product. Expect no better of Torvalds than you would the CEO of Microsoft, their money comes from the same place after all.<br/> 2026-07-23T22:35:02Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs28fvy0cp3tfj2xex9jt5y4jr4uuth60a82emwh9vcah6sp0w5u2czyptu9cd47u3zg4cxtuwwjw9nxa845kqm4echzw9vrj6j9lm9zzffcve7dd7 Linux bad<br/> 2026-07-17T19:05:05Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2sdg09xfrp3lkgd4fxkqel8a78gtyzkwr97kjn4754pn43xerklczyptu9cd47u3zg4cxtuwwjw9nxa845kqm4echzw9vrj6j9lm9zzffcjzl5kl Still not &#34;done&#34; but its close enough that I feel comfortable sharing here: <a href="https://shithub.us/moody/wg/HEAD/info.html">https://shithub.us/moody/wg/HEAD/info.html</a><br/><br/>wireguard for 9front in ~1300 lines of C<br/> 2026-07-02T03:55:56Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsynrtxrcp67zjckydrf6vlqv6rf5q9dp75mlcjcngcwuatl6ep3ngzyptu9cd47u3zg4cxtuwwjw9nxa845kqm4echzw9vrj6j9lm9zzffc0qt2du In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0tvf2t6hz8wm0806z6uhlmp70mga7w00gexwuwpahmhqqg5u4algpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qfueh5g'>nevent1q…eh5g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqgkxvaex8ldmr3lhw3vhqpnx8qktmmwekpn7jsmrre38274efjapqwf90e7" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Liam Proven</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…90e7</span>)</a></span> Ah yes the GPL, which has prevented large companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon from selling said GPL software back to you......<br/><br/>Attempting to use IP law and shrink wrap contracts as a way of combating multi billion dollar companies is not going to be effective unless you have a comparable legal war chest.

I will be talking about the adventures of updating Unicode support in 9front. In particular exploring a from scratch implementation of Unicode normalization and associated lookup tables. The paper will be posted here (and added to 9front) once it is published in the proceedings. The talk should hopefully serve as a nice introduction to some of the nuances of the Unicode standard, regardless of familiarity with Plan 9.<br/> 2025-03-16T18:23:11Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsp65q66548rq07whfqhkthnwrfxxz2kreh3fd8jhwu5j2y9xmaatszyptu9cd47u3zg4cxtuwwjw9nxa845kqm4echzw9vrj6j9lm9zzffcqh9gsx I may have mentioned this before but wanted to again in case people haven&#39;t seen, 9front does have a riscv64 userspace (albeit not very well tested) and what we&#39;re really missing is someone working on a kernel (even if only for qemu). I did a decent chunk of that userspace work and would be willing to act as support for the userspace(compilers libraries and so on) portions if someone wanted to try taking on that project. There is a start to a kernel, enough to jump in to virtual memory. I&#39;ve still got the kernel portions of the power9 port to work on but considering the userspace stuff is at a decent place acting as support is doable.<br/> 2025-02-09T00:29:47Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8e2fms0mtxgavazys00sff5ga39sscryqnwtzxq45annkr8vletczyptu9cd47u3zg4cxtuwwjw9nxa845kqm4echzw9vrj6j9lm9zzffcgs0ce4 I swear the new edge cases for unicode normalization introduced in 16.0 seem like they were designed specifically to mess with my implementation.
