- astrange 6y agoMach started as a microkernel, but when they jammed together Mach and BSD they put it in the same process so it's not really separated anymore. Recently there are some hypervisor-like things for security, and more things have been moving to userland instead of being kexts. I'd still say it's less of a microkernel than Linux since it doesn't have FUSE.
