“Just a hobby, won’t be big” - he really didn’t think it will be one of the most sought after projects.

(just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu)
Aged like fine milk. Looking at you, GNU Hurd.

not really, gnu is still a big professional project

GNU Hurd didn’t take a good path of development following MACH design. But I still think GNU Hurd is the kernel of the future. Probably the Next generation Hurd. Just because GNU MACH and Hurd present very convoluted designs.
A kernel that performs most of their activities in user space and that it is truly modular looks very promising for the kind of systems we have nowadays and in the future.
Someone has to make the change, or we will stagnate in cumbersome and up featured systems.

it’s real… but GNU is a loooot more than a kernel

I for one really appreciate the effort of supporting non-AT drives despite the initial skepticism.

I’m glad someone was able to donate a non-AT drive because Linus could not afford it :-(

There’s no guessing what will catch the world by storm. At a party once, Bram Cohen tried to get me interested in his ideas for a a peer-to-peer protocol, and I thought nothing of it.

My cousin’s buddies asked him to build the website for their new ride hailing app but he didn’t feel like doing some rinky dink thing, apparently Travis and them took it in stride though.
