As graphics fan, I wonder how this would work out with modern GPU driver layers.

John Carmack used to participate in the Plan 9 mailing lists

Though Rob Pike might have not been very cooperative or enthusiastic

He goes on about some interesting architectural advantages already in Plan 9 from a graphics programming standpoint and capitalizing on them someday.

It'd be interesting to hear about how far along he got.

Here he talks about trying to hack Plan 9 to run Quake https://marc.info/?l=9fans&m=111558698416915&w=4

Interesting read, including some QNX and Amiga related stuff, thanks.
