Honest question: are the NT or XNU kernels any better architecture-wise? What about BSDs?
- sharikone 5y agoI am not qualified enough to answer for NT and BSD (I only can note they appear very stable nowadays). But XNU is not much better than Linux. It has a schizophrenic soul with its BSD and Mach duality for everything. It is bogged down by Apple's never-ending "security" lock down efforts. It has no equivalent of "jails/containers". And, again, it is practically unusable for anything that is not created by Apple and is not extendable now that they are phasing out kexts. I think a very interesting recent effort in kernel architecture innovation is Fuchsia.
