I know this is in jest, but because of the "hurr durr" connotations, only the absolute most bearded of free software zealot neckbeards are going to ever run GNU Hurd beyond simplytest driving it.
Open source continues its unbroken streak of showing us why naming things is important.
I have no idea why you think this. You might be terminally online. Hurd is just like "herd" because it's a microkernel, and hurr durr is some social media/gamer shit a tiny amount of people started saying decades after Hurd started being developed.
You are calling a Linux (sorry, GNU/Linux) killer small silly stuff?
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, just Linux.
I’ve recently taken to calling it GNU minus Linux.
Are you saying that Hurd will also kill Google/Linux?

Yeah GNU hasn't really been involved for a long time. It's Mozilla/Linux in reality. Not to mention the totally GNU-free distributions, like Alpine.

No, what they're referring to as a GNU/Linux is in fact GNU Hurd.
Of course it’s a large and complex project in terms of code, but in terms of industrial impact it’s unlikely to ever amount to much.
Linux just has too much momentum and there are too few real benefits to Hurd.
This is not GNU/Linux. GNU Hurd is a totally different kernel.

That seems like an awesome reason to use it in an era of most software is an AI slopfest.
