How do you feel about the future of "GNU/Linux"?

It really kills me that systemd is an entire layer of GNU+Linux now. It really does.

It will be abandoned pretty soon, as Android will cease. OSX is crap and so has become Windows.
Future OS is Fuchsia, a fourth way, unfortunately made by Google.

Like >>1062863 said. Except I don't think it'll be "abandoned" rather it will remain in limbo forever as a platform for everyone (Microsoft Google, various standards consortium.etc) to draft experimental software concepts and draft prototype software design standards on before being pushed to commercial software. Meanwhile on the commercial side everyone will have their own in-house kernel with some GNU/Linux compatibility for workflow reasons but nothing else. Basically the idea of "GNU/Linux" as a distinct OS/platform is dead. Rather its now seen as a reference OS on paper only. At least in the eyes of companies

I have no problem. Linux continues working and GNU continues working. They remain free software and all is good.

Yes that's right. At the moment they don't have enough programmers writing drivers for Hurd. The applications that go above the base OS layer are also incomplete. It's sad but that's the investment going into Hurd.

Fuchsia is just an experiment at the moment, even Google admits it. It might be another Plan9 in terms of eventual adoption.

Fucked hard by SJWs who were outed early as being sent by Microsoft and Google to destroy the open source community but everyone joined them anyways.
"Free Software" and "Free Minds" used to go hand in hand with each other, now it's everyone has to believe what your corporate masters tell you or you get banned from everywhere.

Aside from the whole systemd problem, I think it's otherwise progressing along fine. Advancements and new software continue to be made. Microsoft's stranglehold is loosening.

Apparently you missed the memo, everything is botnet and the jews can read your shadow file.
No, he's right. There's a lot of garbage projects like systemd as more people who don't really belong in tech work in tech as the field is expanding, but there's also a lot more alternative projects that are much better than the mainstream choice. In general I don't think there was ever as much choice regarding software. You just need to get away from the normie and mainstream options that are made for idiots that can barely tie their own shoes. Sadly, as most of /tech/ doesn't really know anything about tech they prefer to whine around here instead. They basically want the alternative option to feel special but they don't want to have to know anything or really do anything themselves. Perfect systemd users, really.

I actually want Fuchsia to succeed. It uses microkernel architecture with namespace concepts from Plan 9 (this triggers a certain individual) and capabilities. It'll also just implement a subset of POSIX for backward compatibility (called POSIX lite).
Here's some good reading about it:
Namespaces: https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/fuchsia/+/master/docs/the-book/namespaces.md
Dot Dot Considered Harmful: https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/fuchsia/+/master/docs/the-book/dotdot.md
>But it's GoogleOS
The source code is available under permissive licenses, maybe someone or some group will be capable of salvaging the useful stuff, like we have custom android ROMs today.

Would a github based linux be good? As opposed debian or arch mirrors, have a package manager that does git pulls.
Instead of recompiling sources all the time and hoping the system doesn’t break, just modify the source how you want then do a commit.
