Hello all, I am trying to understand the development situation of GNU HURD.
There was an official release in 2025. But in reality, GNU HURD basically only works in an emulator, and on a select group of laptops. In my opinion a very narrow basis for an "official release". There is no support for USB, BlueTooth or audio. In my opinion, this lack of support basically disqualifies GNU HURD as a serious candidate for "alternative OS", at least for desktop computers. Is there any particular reason that there is no support for USB / Bluetooth / sound? Is this a hardware problem? Is it a software problem (perhaps it is needed to implement special daemons for USB/Bluetooth/sound for HURD)? Is is a problem of scope (there are so many USB / Bluetooth / audio devices, and so few developers, that it is impossible to keep up)? Is there perhaps an article somewhere on the internet with some more background information? Regards, Shinichi
