Certainly Plan 9 can't replace Linux/macOS/BSD/Windows, I'm still c= urious its upper bound for a sensible daily usage,=C2=A0 and the best pract= ice from you happy experienced Plan 9 users.

I checked mail headers in this mailing list, seems all use Apple Mail, iPho= ne Mail, WebMail with AJAX, Gmail(a lot), ProtonMail,=C2=A0 these emails we= nt through Postfix and Exim servers, probably on Linux.

In great harmony, we use kinds of operating system and kinds of software on= them.
