Every time I checkout GNU Hurd I'm flabbergasted that it is still 32bit. It is something that is really hard to get past and honestly I don't have the skills to contribute to make it 64bit. But I just don't have time for something that is limited to 4GB address space[1]. Too far away from modern to be honest.
(IMHO)

- nkkollaw 9y agoJesus, are you serious? Even tablets are 64bits nowadays...
- agumonkey 9y agoI'm sure if we donated enough it would be ported in a month.
