@@adventuresin9there is Sigrid's riow that's now in the main distribution. But ignoring the 9front team themselves, there's Lola and I seem to remember someone getting the Harvey / Jehanne window manager working on 9front
I like rio for doing development work. But I do sympathize with people looking for a traditional Desktop Environment. So long as it follows Plan 9 principles, like a file system interface, I'm fairly agnostic on the whole thing.
In it's current state, and by the average computer user's definition, no it isn't. There are minimal web browsers available. You can watch videos on it. A couple games and console emulators have been ported. But the default install is mostly built around doing programming projects with clusters of computers.
@@adventuresin9 If I understood it well, the plan9 is a real time kernel OS - which is awesome for audio editing and multimedia stuff, even better than Linux + Haiku OS & Mac (I dont even take in consideration windows, because it sucks.)

I literally remember when rio was called 8 1/2.
I am thoroughly enjoying this series. Thank you for it.
Is there someone on the 9front team working on enhancements for Rio? 🤔
Officially, rio is perfect the way it is. There are personal projects to either add to rio, or make a total replacement.

A video doing a demo of lola is on my list. I was going to put a link to it, but youtube likes to hide comments with links in them.
@@adventuresin9 ok. I'm more into the perfect has it is camp. I don't want (or need) another desktop.

Which is the purpose for the existence of this OS?
It was developed by Bell Labs for computer research.
@@adventuresin9 So basically it's not suitable for web browsing, online streaming and gaming.
Right?

I haven't devled much into the audio and real time aspects of Plan9 or 9Front. I do know that Sigrid does audio stuff shithub.us/sigrid/usr.html
Theory spelled wrong on thumbnail, no biggie, but thought you might want to know.
Not surprised. I had to redo that thumbnail like 3 times because of other typos and goofs. Thanks for the heads up.
