I'm interested in finding out what people think when they see something GNU. What do you associate with it? Do you tend to be more or less interested in the project if.it is GNU or not? What is your perspective?

GNU Hurd

Microkernels project. In development since 1990, with varying activity.

After years of stagnation, development picked up again in 2015 and 2016, with four releases during these two years.[18] Since then, no release was made, but distributions pick up snapshots to produce distribution releases. - Wikipedia

Wikipedia lists six distributions; amongst them Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Guix
