9front user there. I don't care much for GnomeOS (flatpak+systemd+nonlibre Linux). I stopped caring long ago until Guix replaces that nonfree stuff with Hurd and does an actual modern clone instead of a crappy NT 2.0 with full of legacy stuff bolted in. Guix with Hurd and the rumpkernel porting all the libre Linux modules (ext2 has already been extended with something akin journaling; audio and networking drivers among Intel and MESA would be really great) would be a godsend for both Hurd and ironically GNU/Linux itself, as Hurd does far more for the user freedom, (no need for root to mount stuff and so on) as Plan9/9front does with namespaces.
As the so-called GNU+Linux libre software it's actually being drived by IBM and propietary modules, (the official tarball has already more blobs than GPL software) Guix and Hurd are the only non-trainted environments to develop non-corporate driven environments.
