My week with Plan9/9front
THIS IS A INCOMPLETE POST, IT MAY BE UPDATED
i gave myself a challenge to use plan9, specifically 9front, on hardware, for a week. i've known about plan9 and 9front for a few years but never made the leap to look at it closer until SDF.org did the SDF Plan9 Boot Camp Summer 2022 i'm glad i did as i have met so many amazing people from the bootcamp, thank you SDF and the SDF community for hosting the bootcamp and enabling people to learn more about Plan9, it's been amazing
My Setup
Samsung Q40 laptop * 512MiB RAM * Intel U1400 @ 1.20GHz * 60GB HDD
my rio layout varies a lot but usually ended up like this
there is a native ssh client and virtual terminal but i use a modified version (vt.green)
considering most of my workflow is over ssh on remote machines normally, i never had to change much of it.
Verdict
i absolutely loved using plan9, can't use it as a daily driver all the time but if i could, i definitely would especially for productivity reasons,
