We get the year of GNU/Hurd on the desktop before TES Ⅵ

Wow. Only 25 years after Linux did this.

Honestly, I was surprised to learn that Hurd is still under development. When I first saw it, my first thought was "they are building the emacs of operating systems". Well, they still seem to work with their microkernel system, so they should have accomplished that support for x86-64 many, many years ago if they had someone actually working on this.
