I enjoyed this article and was impressed with how far the author got in each day's exploration.
I always thought Plan9 should have had a comeback as part of the "Internet of Things" given its deep support for networking and its modest hardware requirements (it was designed in the 90s.)
- enriquto 6y agolet's make that happen! install a plan9 vm and start doing your regular work in there.
- generalizations 6y agoThe problem is drivers. They haven't kept up so far as I know and the list of supported hardware is short. Personally I'd love for that to change, but it isn't something I can do.
- ori_b 6y agoThe list of supported hardware is short, but surprisingly accessible. It's likely that random bargain bin hardware will not be fully supported, but with a few minutes of research it's easy to pick out something that will -- like used Thinkpad. We even managed to get arm64 support on the Raspberry pi before Ubuntu. :)
