I'll bet you a signed dollar it is not being run as a multi-server, microkernel based OS. I'd go further and say L4 being designed as microkernel is nothing more than an amusing piece of trivia in it's use by Apple and that the actual OS that does stuff will be as monolithic as any other used by apple.
- astrange 3y agoWhat a strange thing to say on no evidence. Actually, iOS/macOS itself isn't a monolithic OS anymore as many of the important hardware drivers like wifi have moved to userland processes. Of course, it was never fully monolithic because it does upcalls for things like NFS mounts and disk images.
- monocasa 3y agoYou would be wrong; SEPOS is pretty good about splitting work into separate services.
