There's bloat and adware in the kernel?
Even any sign of this coming?
Are these future historians in error?
Must be down one of those wrong paths.

- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

The year is 5495. HURD will probably be complete by then.
Tried HURD any time in the past decade or so? What was lacking for you? It was fine for me in 2014 when I last tried it.
I didn't actually try it, that's just the joke that's floating around. "GNU HURD, like GTA6, will never be finished."
For all I know, it's still in beta stage, even if it is usable.
as a photonic transistor lifeform specimen from 50.000 years from now(got sent here due to a bug in the wormhole controllers), whose kind is abused by yours for computing and power needs, i'm displeased to say that my friend who has been turned into a HURD testbench still lies in paralysis as it still is being worked on
You don't get ad IN Arch. You get ads OF Arch, unsolicited, in your inbox.
I use Arch, btw.
I use nixos btw. We are not the same
I use Guix with Hurd. We are not the same.
I have a fix for your problem. Install Gentoo.
Already did sudo brl fetch gentoo.
Ah, the utopia where arch is considered bloated
Arch uses systemd.
And glibc!
