The Linux kernel and distributions is what I’m talking about so yes compared with NT kernel and windows as a distribution. The design choices you’d make to build a secure OS (kernel and user space) looks very different. The microkernel design is a more secure design but techniques to make it work fast took a very long time to develop (+ computer HW also got fast enough that the overhead is no longer as big of a deal + we have multithreading everywhere that microkernel can sometimes exploit more naturally).
