@wzqtparor @TeaTootler GNU is certainly quite usable - it has multiple OS's and kernel's available.

Many people use the fully free GNU GRUB OS for example.

>64-bit Hurd is not viable yet. 32-bit Hurd rely on very limited hardware choices.
GNU/Hurd does in fact run and launches straight into bash and then you can run the Church of Emacs - what else could you need?

>Linux-libre kernel have same problem, it supports too few hardwares.
People are obsessed with the concept of GNU/Linux-libre not running, but it runs just fine on all standard AMD64 computers, as Linux's ACPI, CPU, most Ethernet, etc drivers work without proprietary software.

You can grab the most proprietary Intel computer and boot Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre and everything works - 1000BASE-T works, usb works, the Intel Integrated Graphics works with fullspeed 3D accel, suspend and resume works and CPU power management works.

It's only a few factory e-waste peripheral devices that have problems, for example trash Wi-Fi & GPU cards won't work - but you just plug in a quality Wi-Fi card or GPU and problem solved.

Ancient Nvidia GPUs run better than the proprietary drivers ever did, with suspend and resume.

Aspeed GPUS work and I believe suspend and resume works.

Newer GPUs work good too, with suspend and resume, although the reclocking is hit or miss and anything newer than the 780 Ti is handcuffed to not allow reclocking without a signed proprietary program.

ATI & AMD GPUs are garbage, with no 3D accel, as resume from suspend fails to work, but GNU Linux-libre did hack up the radeon driver to work with free software and you do get a native resolution output and good enough performance for web browsing.
