Hello hackers everywhere,
As a free software enthusiast, first lured in by the technical edge offered by the GNU/Linux OS and ecosystem, i was ecstatic to hear about the advancements and the resurfacing of the GNU/Hurd project. Nevertheless, I was a bit saddened to find out that the most 'advanced' distribution is the non-free, or non totally free is such term might be used, Debian-based GNU/Hurd. My question is, has the GNU project entirely given up on a GNU operating system with the Hurd kernel making the the 1990s, era appropriate, move to the Linux kernel permanent ? If not, when are we likely to see a functional,
free GNU/Hurd operating system in the spirit of Trisquel or gNewSense, only benefiting from the thrilling Hurd ?
