I hope Hurd has its day. Maybe in 100 years or something.

Hurd will have its day once Linux makes it on the desktop :-)

Linux has made it to the desktop, packaged inside VMs served by Apple, Microsoft and Google.

It just...has made it. Plenty of power users just use it as their primary OS. I think official figures under-estimate it because many people daily-driving will spoof user agents of other OSes.

And there's Android.

GuixSD with GNU Hurd would be a really fun way to repurpose an old MBP.
