Hurd 0.9, Mach 1.8 and MIG 1.8 were released in 2016¹. 2019 saw the release of Debian GNU/Hurd 2019². There are regular releases and the system runs in VM and on bare metal³. You can even run it on GNU Guix via the hurd-service.⁴
That’s the state of the Hurd in January 2021: It works today, and it was never easier to try it than now.
