I did the same with an old Thinkpad but somehow found it relies too heavily on the mouse. I might still go back to it because I love how far they've taken the "everything is a file" idea and would like to experiment more with that.

I saw on HN in a different Plan 9 thread (though I'm having a bit of trouble finding it), where someone mentioned the idea of using Plan 9 to build a custom router.

I have a very rough mental model of how that could be done, and I think it would be cool to say I have that, but I haven't been bothered to replace my beloved NixOS router yet.

Same here. I made a custom router (debian, nftables, dnsmasq, etc and python code to manage it all over ssh) and I spent way too much time on it to replace it :-)
