I have ended up using 9front more and more, obviously. 9front was started specifically to address the fact that Plan 9 from Bell Labs didn't run on most computers... If I have any feeling at all about it, it's that there's room for another fork that is an even simpler research platform. in other discussions people say, why do we have things that aren't relevant? We all love catclock, email... some users may only want plan 9 for that... some people also discussed even removing compiled binaries as much as possible. mostly, I like the idea of plan 9 that runs on the computer I have... but I understand that for a lot of reasons other people don't necessarily feel the same way. we wouldn't be here if we didn't agree Plan 9 is the best OS design. and they're all free software. 9front has some very interesting things that 9legacy can (and does) use as patches. it's just actually difficult to write software, for some value of difficulty. there's a lot of shit going on in the world today... we all gathered here to agree Plan 9 is great software, then just be rude to each other because...? I really don't understand, I'm not exaggerating. what is the actual disagreement here?
