The XNU kernel in macOS is not a microkernel.
- pjmlp 6y agoIt follow a mikro kernel like design though. And when Apple is finished with moving all kernel extensions to userspace, it might as well be considered as such. By the way the extensions that were deprecated in Catalina, are now removed in Big Sur, as promised by 2019 roadmap. So eventually, all extensions will be gone from the kernel.
