What is Reddit's opinion of GNU Hurd?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

GNU tools are the bare essentials. When GNU started, it was meant as a way to make a fully functional Unix-like system built on free and open source software. After most of Unix software was rewritten, all there needed to be was a kernel. The GNU kernel, (also known as HURD ) wasn't as mature at the time as the Linux kernel at the time. Linux started off as basically a kernel, but lacked a full userland, so that's how GNU/Linux got formed. Combining the two into a working operating system.

Also, FreeBSD does have other varients as well. There is Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, which is the Debian/GNU userland built ontop of the FreeBSD kernel, rather than the Linux kernel. My point being, GNU and Linux are two different projects by different groups, hence the weird naming standard. I'd just call each distro by their own name.

He never created a Linux distro, only criticized almost all of them. Oh, and OpenBSD too.

His OS project is called GNU/Herp.

I mean, Hurd.

GNU is a set of software tools. The parts which are generally considered the OS are mostly contained in the Linux kernel, which is not developed by GNU.

GNU does have their own kernel, however, called Hurd, but nobody cares.
