#microkernels
Voy a quemar todo lo que no sea RISC-V y me voy a ir al monte con libros de rfcs, microkernels, rust y elixir o algo y mi legado será HolyP(sycosis).

That led straight into the architecture debate: does fixing this require ripping out C for Rust, moving to microkernels like seL4, or accepting that as long as we want Linux performance, automated bug finders are just the cost of doing business? 4/4

Microkernels are superior

Ive set my clock back to 7:43AM, November 1, 2006. Time to admit that Macrokernels are a bust and Microkernels with daemons implemented in Guile are the way to go, so that 20 years from now we can all benefit.

Was it MINIX or Hurd that was used as a really tangible demonstration of how inefficient microkernels typically are by showing how they couldn't achieve any higher than 9600 baud on a serial port while running on 2000s computers

Sculpt OS 26.10 releases
Sculpt OS 26.10 brings quite a few new features, like scalable cursors, support for UK keyboards, better webcam support, and more, but the real meat of this release is much tastier. First, Sculpt 26.10 is the first version based on Genode’s custom microkernel instead of relying on a 3rd-party kernel. This kernel – designed from the ground up for the needs of Genode and Sculpt OS in particular – is not only more “micro” than any other of the microkernels supported by Genode, it also solves long-standing deficiencies concerning CPU scheduling and kernel-memory management. Sculpt OS finally stands on Genode’s own footing! Finally, Sculpt OS 26.10 pays tribute to this year’s overall theme of “building bridges” by featuring our software development kit (Goa SDK) running directly on Sculpt OS without virtualization. This entails a wealth of tooling including GCC, Binutils, Git, Sequoia, Expect, Curl, man, Make, and CMake having landed on Genode. Although still young and not time-tested yet, it shows what’s possible today and allows us developers to gradually shift more and more development routine into this self-hosted environment, stressing the general-purpose qualities of Genode and motivating further optimizations. ↫ Sculpt OS release 26.10 announcement This new release also completes the transition from XML to Genode’s own HID language for configuration, moves from VirtualBox 6 to 7, and upgrades a whole slew of its Linux-based drivers

Satire: Trillion-Dollar AI Cluster Spends 99.8% of Its Compute on One VTuber's Outfits | Morgyn I/O
Satire. A frontier AI cluster that could translate Sumerian and write microkernels is instead rendering a VTuber's maid apron physics for an audience of three raccoons and a bot.

Who said anything about online?

Even online, systems built on seL4 microkernels (such as Boeing’s autonomous Little Bird helicopter tests) have resisted all remote code execution attempts during adversarial penetration tests

I think sandboxing is something we don't want to lose

of course in a perfect world we would have microkernels or whatever but I'm trying to imagine a pragmatic path

i want more microkernels and simpler systems
September 18, 2026 at 8:39 PM
this is about microkernels right paul
September 13, 2026 at 8:23 PM
OK, seems Minix is dead, and the comments I've just been reading on a post about that seem to indicate issues with scalability when using microkernels. So I had missed something. I'm not interested enough to dig any deeper into the benefits and negatives of either kernel option. Nice idea though.

I suppose OS's like Linux and Windows have one foot in the past, when the processing overhead of microkernels had more of an impact to the end user experience. Maybe its time for an industry rethink.
Yes a more stable OS at the cost of processing overhead isn't going to suit everyone's needs!
September 12, 2026 at 3:49 PM
Just read this article and now asking myself why don't most customer OS's use microkernels? Unless I'm mussing something this just makes sense. For the most part we have more processing power than we need so the overhead isn't important. www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/...

i now realize why microkernels are a thing. i wish they were more popular.
September 9, 2026 at 5:53 PM
Yeah, and GNU Hurd largely failed to launch too. So microkernels really got steamrolled by Linux.
August 19, 2026 at 5:30 AM
The problem with microkernels is that they still have a kernel and that makes message passing too literal

I'm super curious about #HarmonyOS/#OpenHarmony. Neat distributed computing ideas, microkernels, a bundled enhanced typescript system.

But also... what a bunch of silly gates to hop Huawei makes one go through. No you don't get to see a bank statement on me!

kubernetes and docker and microservices and such... it's all just reproducing the early 90's microkernel architecture... we didn't leave microkernels behind, we just made our hardware so big that Linux is basically a microkernel controlling a herd of containerized daemons #computerscience #hottake
