    Actually both have the same age, Hurd born in 1990, Linux born in 1991, so its the same thing in terms of age..

    Why not? I've seen LGR using a mouse in DOS apps a couple of times.

    Does not mean anything.

    Hurd is older than Linux and in the time that Linux took to become a thing it is still partying like it's 1999.

    More like it's still alive because of FSF political reasons. Any other sane project would have recognized defeat and abandoned the field a decade ago.

    Forget USB mouse.

    OpenBSD hardware support is fine as long as you stick to Intel or older AMD graphics and choose WiFi card carefully. On some Thinkpads it's hardware support is said to be better than Linux's (sleep/restore etc). It's main gripe (for me) is it's FFS2 file system.
    USB 1 through 3 work on it too, Hurd does not even have basic USB yet.

    Ah yes, I remember them saying the same things about Linux. And now the Linux hardware support on the whole is better than proprietary alternatives. Especially for older hardware.

    The biggest thing for me is, the world doesn't need another Linux Distro. At least going for GNU Hurd brings something new (old) to the table. Yes, if you were a big fan of Linux *and* liked the Guix package manager, then that is unfortunate but lets be honest, Linux users are quite used to change.
