Is anyone running 9 as a daily driver? What hardware is suggested?



You can run plan9 on any hardware that supports x86, VESA and has a nominal (32MB) amount of memory. It's not a complex system and doesn't really leverage any hardware acceleration, so you don't gain too much from specific hardware, beyond a supported Ethernet card.

That being said, I don't know anyone that daily drives it, beyond maybe a few members of the team itself.


Not daily, but I remember reading quite a bunch about plan9 on the HundredRabbits website. That's how I was introduced to the OS.

Found a minor mention of it on the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20221114163056/https://100r.co/si...
