For those interested in learning more about Plan 9 and trying it out in a public environment: SDF Public Access UNIX System is hosting their seasonal Plan 9 Boot Camp starting June 20th. Feel free to drop into com and say hello!

But of course! Real hardware or bust.

This particular machine has been my daily driver for months now, so I would say it is faring quite well.

Indeed.

9front comes with two browsers out of the box: abaco and mothra. There is also a port of NetSurf as well as both gopher and gemini browsers.

Plan 9 is a research operating system developed by Bell Labs as a successor to UNIX.

I would suggest starting somewhere like here to get an idea of what it’s about, as well as checking out this video from one of 9front’s core contributors.

I guess that depends on if you consider doing basically all of my day-to-day computing as doing anything “real”.

I use it for writing, email, programming, browsing, drawing, games… pretty much everything I would do on any other machine. Anything that I can’t do directly in Plan 9 is done by accessing from Plan 9.

Perhaps just PNU?

No, but it comes with Doom as well as a bunch of other games and emulators. See games(1) and nintendo(1) for details.

Closest thing for bash would be ble.sh.
