Yes, but... This usage goes against many of the security claims of microkernels. In particular. If Linux is big and insecure running it in a VM doesn't really improves its security. It just make sure it doesn't infect the rest of

Even if you manually manage hundreds of machines over ssh, I am still not sure how useful this can be. For one, you still need to manually inspect each window and issue further commands.

There are no proper L4 performance comparisons. A few benchmark L4Linux, where L4 is not used as a microkernel but a hypervisor which consequently proves nothing about the micokernel paradigm.

I disagree. People were not aware of the shenanigans Facebook was pulling before the media outrage. Now they are and many are leaving the platform. Exactly how would Google fight back? Kill Android? Close down YouTube??

Old permissions were too broad. Need a file? Here is a permission to look at ALL files! More restrictive permissions (and a new model where you don't need a permission but user decides what file to access) were added later but it takes
