It’s time [to] explain the meaning of “Hurd”. “Hurd” stands for “Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons”. And, then, “Hird” stands for “Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth”. We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms.

— Thomas (then Michael) Bushnell

I don’t wanna be that guy but… Linux is a kernel and Hurd is an operating system, so technically neither of them run by default

TxzK ,

Hurd isn’t an operating system tho. It’s a bunch of microkernel servers for GNU Mach microkernel.

mariusafa ,

Hurd is the Kernel part of the GNU. Linux is the kernel that replaces the kernel part of GNU because Hurd is not yet ready for 64 bit arch.
