    In the Debian GNU/Hurd case it’s even less practical due to the many limitations of Hurd and its primitive hardware support.

    Given the Hurd limitations, Debian GNU/Hurd is mostly practical in VMs.

    Debian GNU/Hurd is currently available for i386 and can build around 65% of the Debian archive.

    Since the prior Debian GNU/Hurd release, APIC, SMP, and 64-bit support has improved a lot but is still a work-in-progress.

    Debian GNU/Hurd has improved a bit over the past decade since last time testing it but is still very much limited and niche compared to Debian GNU/Linux.
