How many of you use Plan9 as your daily driver?

If someone here doesn't want to use GNU at all, Plan9 is probably the next best thing. Is there anyone here that actually uses it day to day?

I mean if I didn’t want to use GNU at all I would just run FreeBSD. Been a solid OS for me since the mid 2000’s.

I am out of the loop: What is the discussion/problem with GNU?

Historically the concerns have been that the GPL is less “free” than the BSD license.

This draws parallels with tolerance paradox.

True. Don't know why I didn't think of that. I'm assuming the BSDs don't use GNU's C compiler?

FreeBSD has used the LLVM Clang compiler for over 10 years

Thanks

I'd love to read a blog of someone using it as their daily driver, I wonder how doable that is

I remember reading about Plan9 around 2000 or so. I thought it was pretty damn cool. I still do, I just can't imagine using it as their main.

If I had to guess, it'd be fewer than 5 worldwide and all of them will be doing it as an experiment and/or for a laugh.

Nope, Plan9 is too old - I run Hurd.

(Yes, this is a joke)
