Oh boy. I completely missed the date of your email. So I definitely get a fail on humour. I did find it weird that all kernels you mentioned were proprietary, but I thought the porting question itself was warranted (because Debian always had an advantage in that area), and while I was reading the Gentoo page I thought that more Debian technologies on top of Windows (especially with their new Unix layer) and MacOS might be interesting. So while I completely missed the April's fool, I did think your email (maybe inadvertently ;) contained some good food for thought. I think it always says a lot about today's open source world where a hybrid proprietary + FOSS model is seen as quite normal rather than a joke. As DPL, I promise to stay away from the computer on April 1. ;) -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/
