The source is of course here.

This was the logo the Hurd used before 2000. If someone still has a screenshot of the logo displayed on the Hurd website, I would love to see it.

The boxes are now the wheels of the kart, so it is no longer flat and boring. There was more fine tuning, like the kart is no longer floating, and off the origin. Here is the updated kart's repo: https://codeberg.org/provectus/HurdKart. The update will become a part of the official addon once it is approved.

Anyone who can file issues on the atom/rss news feeders, could you please let maintainers know they're totally out of sync? The latest news they show are from 2016, the feed URLs:

https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/index.atom https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/index.rss

Now a days the rss one could actually be dropped, if that alleviates the burden of keeping the feeds active and maintained.

Thanks a lot if anyone can let them know and ask if that can be fixed.

Now you can just install the addon normally in STK.

I made a repository to upload some GNU Hurd Art here.

I also used the snow bison picture from here.

Used the Hurd Boxes kart from my previous model to make a kart for STK. I uploaded it to the STK site, and now it is pending approval, so soon you may just install the addon regularly.

I recently designed the Boxes logo on Blender, and uploaded it to printables. I will be using this for future projects, but anyone is free to do cool things with it. Here is the url:

Great job to the devs who made this port possible, and are still working on it.

I ran this using the guide here. I never knew I was this bad at tetris until now.

Usually you would run GNU Guix/Hurd in a childhurd, as described here, but not all of us can to do that. I found a way to run GNU Guix/Hurd in qemu, and all you need is the qemu package.

1. Download the latest Guix System image from https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/.

2. Convert the downloaded QCOW2 image into a raw disk image using qemu-img:

qemu-img convert -O raw /path/to/source.qcow2 /path/to/output.img

(Replace /path/to/ with the desired directory paths on your system.)

3. Resize the image to the amount of disk space as desired. For example:

qemu-img resize hurd-system.img 30G

4. Mount the image and resize the main partition as desired. The gnome disks tool can be used for this process, or any kind of partitioning software that supports raw images. Resize the main partition to, as an example 30gb, and write your changes.

5. Virtualize it in qemu. We are going to use the same command as in the debian GNU/Hurd guide, but echo your image instead.

kvm -m 2G -drive file=$(echo yourimage.img),cache=writeback

6. Your setup is complete, but I will include this as a bonus step. When you are at the login page just do login root and enter with no password.

GNU Guix integrates well with the Hurd so you can find documentation here

Note, when I did this setup, running guix pull was slow, but I think this is an issue with Guix and not specifically the GNU Hurd variant.

I forgot emacs was an OS. This is the setup that uses the most GNU software that I have tried so far.
