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!
- I miss my T420 that’s a great laptop
Amazing. Do you feel that it has a future?
- I certainly hope so.
  
  In all seriousness, it seems to me that interest in Plan 9 will continue to grow from here, especially with 9front taking the lead and actually moving ahead with real development.
  
  Nice. I like the idea of simple and small. I've had a look at Plan 9 some years ago and had the impression it was mostly dead. Nice to hear that there is some movement.
  
  I feel like that if some alternative wm came out 9front would be more successful
Do you use 9front for anything "real"?
- 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.
  
  does proton work on it
Fantastic styling
Reminds me of Slackware, back in the 90s.
