I've long wanted to give [[plan 9]] another try.

@kl mailing lists is only one part. I recommend checking out the 9front mailing list, there are many patches you can read. Read the fqa, and join chat channels from time to time. There's a 9fans discord as well as various irc channels on freenode (#, ##9, -v, ). If you have 9p available there's 9pzone gridchat (see 9p.zone. it's basically a file you can con -C into).

Keep in mind that I personally am a 9front user and feel very home on grid, and somewhere between cat-v and . Therefore my content will be biased, but I'm happy to boost and publish your 9-related content! 🙂

Many interesting programs are not implemented in C, but the scripting language rc. This shows that the filesystem abstraction (everything really IS a file) is indeed very powerful.

Why use bloated tools if we can already do everything we want?

@groovestomp@social.linux.pizza other suggested channels: -v, #, 9gridchan gridchat, the 9fans discord server (bridged to #). Also don't forget the mailing lists.

Anyone is using as some interface/environment for a personal or taking system that's more than just browsing/searching through a collection of files? (this is what I'm doing right now)

I'm currently looking for some inspiration/ideas/possibilities for keep using acme also for such usage, for some light -like usage, or something.

Acme is NOT the standard text editor, but it's still very nice. Having multiple windows makes it better than ed, at least.

Everything is just a click away.

9front provides many useful kernel devices as files. No symlinks, no hardlinks, just files. You can throw words at them.

Plan 9 comes with graphical capabilities instead of relying only on the keyboard. It has a clean user interface.

is very modern. You can even generate QR codes without searching for generators.

And you can have fun if you don't have the right fonts ☺.

Most operating systems like their users. We don't need users. Just no. Go away.

Latest release: 9front emailschaden. The release was already some time ago, but this account is new so it's fine.
