if i'm not mistaken there's an Xorg port and a VNC viewer any actual retard using for browsing the internet? i guess plan9 has a good use as an IDE of sorts, like just a development environment you can use in a VM

The Xorg port it's not meant to be used as far as I know vnc should work albeit I never tried it 9lab.org/plan9/vnc/
> any actual retard using for browsing the internet? Don't know, I saw some people using vmx and then run the browser in the vm. > i guess plan9 has a good use as an IDE of sorts, like just a development environment you can use in a VM That's how you generally use Plan 9. Most people install it on some laptops or a raspberry pis and then connect to them via drawterm on linux/bsd OS
Obviously there's nothing that stops you to use it directly on hw if you can find supported machines and if it fits your use case

still not installing your OS! [spoiler]I will after getting a new raspberry[/spoiler]

Never had much luck with the Xorg port but I used to have a FreeBSD box I'd VNC for Firefox a few months ago and it worked just fine.

Can't remember any issues (but definitely remember that setup as one of my comfier ones), so I'm inclined to say it did. Only can't remember how good graphics performance was, since I don't remember viewing anything "animation-intensive" (videos or whatever). If you're thinking on trying it yourself, you might want to check on that if you care, and getting a window manager that is fine with being resized (I used MATE at the time and it was, WindowMaker wasn't and I believe dwm was), and if you can figure out how to dump PCM into a socket (i.e. PulseAudio's simple-protocol-tcp) it is easy to get audio as well.
