GNU/OSX

OSX/BSD coreutils suck.
>>
>>55218924

This for pure GNU

Or GNU/BSD for just non-linux
>>
Has anyone tried Debian GNU/Hurd or Debian GNU/BSD?

>>55218924
will it ever get good?
>>
>>55218902
Depends do you want something that only barely works on specific hardware or do you want something that barely works on all hardware?

>Can I just use GNU without Linux?
Would you also not use all other non-GNU software like X?
>>
>>55218902
Yes

>>55220273
I'm running Gentoo GNU/kFreeBSD
>>
>>55220293
It'll always be behind but it might get to a point where it is almost as usable as minix3
>>
>>55218902
gcc.exe
>>
>>55218924
I really want this to come out with good x86_64 support on bare metal. I still haven't tried in a VM. It really sounds neat.
>>
Yes, use Hurd.
