Oh yes I absolutely agree. I would definitely like to completely replace the web. It's just that in order to (currently) do my banking, pay my bills, book airline tickets, order from Amazon, etc. I must use a browser. If I could escape all that I would run Plan 9 exclusively without another OS or hacks to access a browser from another OS/virtual machine.

Totally get it. Vmx on 9front with a Linux or BSD VM is the way to go if you want to try to go 100% 9. If you like you can experiment with this on a used laptop with supported hardware, thinkpad best. It's not lightning fast at the moment (patches welcome) but it works well enough.

I would avoid laptops altogether, honestly. Not a great fit.

That is the opposite of good advice. http://fqa.9front.org/fqa3.html#3.1

I suppose it depends on what you want from 9front. If you want a terminal with decent power management you should just buy a mac.

Even though most of the UIs I work on nowadays are Web based, I miss the native apps with Internet protocols, and most of my side projects are native apps, nothing to do with Web.
