Use a microkernel if this is your strong opinion. Linux is a monolithic kernel and includes a whole lot in kernel space for the sake of performance and (as mentioned in the article) hardware integration. A well designed microkernel may be able to provide similar performance with better security, but until people put serious work in, it won't be competitive with Linux.
