>while these are extremely valid requirements for a commercial product, plan 9 is very much not one. it is a research operating system

People on this site have advocated using Plan 9 as an ordinary operating system, e.g., for work and for communication over the internet.

Readers like me have listened to these advocates, causing us to waste our time installing and exploring Plan 9.

I just want to warn people.

Plan 9 performs work and enables communication over the internet. It is possible that installing any operating system other than the ones you currently use would be a waste of your time, in case they require you to learn them.
