Open source continues its unbroken streak of showing us why naming things is important.
Anyways, HURD's biggest problems are performance and perennially missing important features (2026 and no USB support)
I grew up in one of the other ex-British colonies and we didn’t use “git” either. It’s a pretty localized word. Apparently it only came to prominence after the empire was already collapsing, so didn’t spread much.
Was there any insult that Monty Python didn't use? Some of their gags literally involved opening up the thesaurus and reciting an entry. Most of their sketches involved hurling insults at one another. It was a Petri Dish of British slang!
Maybe the name was more fitting than I realized.
I have no idea why you think this. You might be terminally online. Hurd is just like "herd" because it's a microkernel, and hurr durr is some social media/gamer shit a tiny amount of people started saying decades after Hurd started being developed.
