Researchers contend almost all Linux OS flaws could be mitigated to less-than-critical severity with an OS design based on a verified microkernel.

In a nutshell, the microkernel approach says “Let’s give up performance for superior security and stability”; the monolithic kernel approach says “let’s keep the performance and just fix ...
