Ah nice do we try to find excuses that monolithic kernel's are not so bad at all right?
And it's totally ok that those (any) "high-quality" driver can crash the system?
>Linux uses modules, some other BSD not.
Has nothing todo with modules, if it's loaded it's in kernel-space. Not others...OpenBSD is the ONE.
BTW: For those butt-hurt ones (that i blatantly attacked poor linux), it not just about linux but should we no create operating-systems where this is not possible? Just asking...
- svorakang 4y agoWhat you're asking for is a microkernel os, or at least a generic kernel shim to interface a user space driver. Example of microkernel: QNX. Example of userspace driver: fuse. I'm not familiar with the architecture of OpenBSD, does it run it's drivers in userspace?

- anthk 4y agoFun you say this, but I panicked a few OpenBSD releases before by just using a USB hub and some SD card adapters. And I remind you I helped with some OpenBSD ports such as Mednafen, so I am not saying this as a bluff. The mail list is clear.
