First 9front release of the year is called DO NOT INSTALL
Possibly its most helpful codename yet
This is the best summary I could come up with:
9front, the most active project continuing development of the sequel to Unix, Plan 9 from Bell Labs, emitted a new version.
If you want to see how Unix-like OSes should have evolved, rather than reinventing bigger and shinier wheels – we're staring meaningfully at the BSDs and Linux here – then read on.
DO NOT INSTALL also has better USB audio and Wi-Fi support, which now includes on the Raspberry Pi.
This driver came to 9front from Richard Miller's port of Plan 9 to the Raspberry Pi, which you can see demonstrated by the man himself.
It's Unix, reimagined for the era of networked graphical workstations instead of standalone text-only minis with dumb terminals.
That modern FOSS Unix world remains indifferent, and in that light, we find the 9front team's rather, um, confrontational attitude entirely understandable.
