In theory, or in the real world?
I like the idea of micro kernel but implement it is another story.
One is Linux Bendictus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux operating system implementing the Linux kernel. The other is a bald guy whose name nobody knows.
microkernels are like communism, they work in theory, but in reality everything gets caught up in messaging everything and it's slower and the economy crawls to a halt and everyone starves
monolithic kernels work in the real world
The other is Andrew Tanenbaum, creator of MINIX.
good enough for intel to steal
tanenbaum was right and linus is sort of kicking himself in the ass right now because the linux code base is so huge and unwieldy.
however, there was no way for linus to have forseen what was going to happen so it's not really his fault.
I love his tech tips.
Yes bloated and huge is how Linus himself described it, 10 years ago no less.
