Serious question: is anyone here using Plan 9 for daily operation?
I also run https://shithub.us, which is hosted from plan 9, and more or less needs plan 9 for push access. It uses the hjgit:// protocol for push access, which requires plan9 auth to establish the channel. The fact that there are so many repos up should give a hint at how active the community is.
This isn’t meant to come off as judgmental, but a real question. Plan 9 looks pretty neat but I would think that the lack of driver support alone would make it pretty difficult to run for anything.
But actually most older thinkpads are pretty well supported, you can even get Wifi with OpenBSDs drivers.
