Short answer: somewhere between ‘no’ and ‘extremely doubtful.’
 
Long answer:GNU HURD development is über-slow (slower than Debian), is currently only at version 0.9 (which was released nearly two years ago), and since that’s only a “UNIX microkernel replacement,” it wouldn’t do anything for a poor ol’ desktop user like me. I’d still need to apply a DE, like KDE, Xfce, GNOME, Cinnamon, etc., in order to use it as a daily computer and get my work done, i.e. like most modern 1st-World human beings. UNIX isn’t my personal cup of tea, though I can usually muddle my way through if necessary, and I’ve respect for those who choose to use it regularly. UNIX itself, particularly FreeBSD, is pretty darn great.
 
I know I’m going to rustle a metric crap-ton of developer jimmies by saying this, but IMO, something like volume normalization is in the domain of the desktop environment (DE). But believe me, trying to ask/tell/convince a Linux DE dev that sound or volume normalization IS their problem, or that they SHOULD solve this issue, is only met with scorn, casual dismissal, and/or derision; that’s been my experience since ~2003. You only need to peruse the many DE bug trackers, and note how quickly such bug reports are closed – often with the reason “this is an upstream/browser/someone else’s problem, not mine” – to see what I mean.
 
That said, it’s still better than an OS which spies on you, deletes your files, or updates & restarts whenever the hell its masters want.

Good enough for me, though. :)
 
If there’s one thing Linux still sucks at doing, it’s volume normalization, so the ear-rapey WebM files are even louder. It’ll be nice to at least have a warning to turn the volume down.
 
Thanks!
