The culture around the OS matters.
But this is a 3rd party software with ring-0 access to all of your computers deciding to break them. The technical features of the OS absolutely do not matter.
- rbanffy 2y agoThe question is whether other OSs would require it to have kernel mode privileges. People run complicated stuff in kernel mode for performance, because the switch to/from userspace is expensive. Guess what’s also expensive? A global outage is expensive. Much more than taking the performance hit a better, more isolated, design would avoid.
