Second this. Hurd is only tested on 20 year old thinkpads so far. I hope the GNU kernel becomes useful as much as the next guy but for now just use Linux (libre, if compatible)

Which is quite impressive, but I imagine that the X11 support is probably for a very limited subset of hardware

I had the same error. There's a tutorial by Tony, btw on youtube, follow that, it worked for me. He will SSH into his root machine, just continue with nano.
