     Nah I don't think so, in two years maybe.
     
     There is still a lot of work to do, for example the hurd has practically no drivers so they are working on a New Driver Framework to use linux drivers.

     The hurd is for now not ready to be used by just users, I just encourage people looking into it because it can solve problems that the linux kernel cannot due to it's design.

     @mangeurdenuage I tried Debian/Hurd at the beginning of the year, it was better than I expected.

     @mangeurdenuage @hfaust Does Hurd have x86_64 support now?  Last time I heard it didn't.

     Well when I saw youppi at the ghm he explained they are still working on it and here are the big things that are not yet finished, sound support (it's complicated), 64bits (no far from finished), and usb.
     The sound is complicated because if they do what they want to do, anyone will be able to record sound without having DRM problems or similar.
     Recording industry on suicided watch.
